TheClosetHistorian | Making the Mandragora Silk Jacket // All the Embellishment @TheClosetHistorian | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Dozens of hours spent bent over beading later, I have quite an epic jacket to wear for any special occasion that may ever arise! Sparkling beaded bugs on shimmering silk, it's not very practical, but it sure is fun.
The video where I made the jacket pattern is here: youtube.com/watch?v=sBl5hzQUZjI

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
