The adventures of following a simplicity pattern in pursuit of hips twice the with of my shoulders, which were all the rage in the 1700s! I'm not sure how informative this video is, but I hope it's enjoyable!

Blog Post about this project: doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2017/01/20/making-a-grand-pannier

After trying this pannier on my feelings on the silhouette have changed a little bit, butttt I think that has more with the fact that i'm tall, so the shape isn't as exaggerated as I would like.
