We Played Victwardian Tourists For A Week Lee-am 2022-08-06 | 4 whole days our friends and us, played Victwardian (Victorian+Edwardian) tourists!What originally started as a one night stay with our friend Birthe at the Duin & Kruidberg estate, got a little out of hand. Eventually more friends joined and more days were added. Birthe curate a packed but awesome itinerary for us. with even a special trip to the costume depot of the Kunstmuseum. We had so much fun hanging out with our friends, we promptly forgot to film in & outros, heck we even forgot to bring the camera to our last museum visit. As you can imagine MANY pictures were taken. which you can find on our Instagrams. many thanks to Niklas (Vintagebursche) for making a beautiful trailer.On our first day, when we visited the Rijksmuseum. we didn't dress up. this was due to it being liberation day, and thus extra busy in Amsterdam, which didn't make us feel very comfortable traveling through Amsterdam in full kit.#Victorian #Edwardian #costumes Our friends social's- @KarolinaZebrowskax instagram.com/karolinazebrowskax- @Vintagebursche instagram.com/vintagebursche- @empressofbuttons3478 instagram.com/empressofbuttons- Myrthe - instagram.com/atelier.nostalgia- Birthe - instagram.com/birtheweijkamp- Luca - instagram.com/luca.vintage- Marjolein - instagram.com/madamecorsetiere( Please understand, just because a certain person didn't join the trip, doesn't mean they weren't invited)Assistant Curators Fashion & Costume- Marije Blaasse - instagram.com/marijeblaasse- Tirza Westland - instagram.com/tirza_joyyThe places we visitedAmsterdam - Rijksmuseum - https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nlThe Hague - Kunstmuseum - https://www.kunstmuseum.nl/nlThe Hague - Museumhuis De Quack - https://www.hendrickdekeyser.nl/museumbezoek/huis-de-quack-DenhaagSantpoort-Zuid - Brederode Castle - https://ruinevanbrederode.nl/Santpoort-Noord - Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg - https://www.duin-kruidberg.nl/Haarlem - Teylers Museum - https://www.teylersmuseum.nl/nl/*Unfortunately we only found out about the strobe light effect when editing began. we did our best to "fix" it but alas. we we're able to minimize it. but not fix it entirely.*The footage might look a bit wobbly sometimes.

When the march premiered the same year at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the audience insisted that it be repeated three times. The march is "addressed to no particular nation, but to all of America's friends abroad." Sousa prefaced the sheet music's score with a quotation from the English diplomat John Hookham Frere: "A sudden thought strikes me; let us swear eternal friendship." The march was composed in the wake of the Spanish–American War and is idealistic, in addition to patriotic, in nature.Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hands_Across_the_Sea_(march)_______________________________________________________Check out our Amazon Affiliate storefront.Here you can find the costume books we use for reference or patterns, favorite sewing tools and our vlogging gear. amazon.com/shop/nikkileeamPlaces you can find us:IG Nikki - http://www.instagram.com/nikkileeamIG Melchior - http://www.instagram.com/thewastedcoat FB - http://www.facebook.com/NikkiLeeamKo-fi - ko-fi.com/leeamWebsite - http://Lee-am.comFor business enquiries only:Leeam.info@gmail.com(We do not take costume commissions)

Challenge Accepted! | One Day Make History Bound Lee-am 2020-07-02 | We got challenged by my friend @KirileeCosplay to do a one day make... Challenge Accepted!It took me a while but finally found the time to do one. I have been wanting to do a History Bound item for a long time, since my everyday clothing interest keeps going further back to the early 20th century. So I started out with a walking skirt from the Keystone system. that i sort of styled to be a mashup of the Edwardian and early 20's style.#OneDayMake #HistoryBounding #DressmakingTechnically I managed to do it in 1 day, if you count 24 hours.... but it was basically spread over 3 days. 1.) because I needed to draw the pattern first to know how much fabric I needed. 2.) because the fabric needed to be pre washed and airdried. and 3.) because the skirt's seams were on the bias, and thus they need a minimum of 12 hours to "hang out" before you can make a levelled hem...The Keystone jacket and dress cutter - archive.org/details/keystonejacketdr00heckImage Credits: - Smithsonian Institution Libraries Detail of Women's skirts, blouses, and coats Image no.SIL-038-83-15: From: Bellas Hess & Co.

Batuu Bounding | A Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Inspired Jacket | PIP Ep 13 Lee-am 2020-06-25 | Disneyland and Disney world recently expanded their theme parks with a Star Wars themed extension known as Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and this extension is a location within the Star Wars universe, on a planet called Batuu. The idea of Galaxy's Edges is that you step right into the Star Wars universe, like it’s a living, breathing place. So Melchior and I designed our own outfits that will fit in the Star Wars universe so we will be fully emerged when we visit Batuu but without breaking the rules. so for this particular Batuu bound i will be making a jacket, and the idea is that with the jacket i could turn any outfit into a Batuu Bound. #BatuuBounding #GalaxysEdge #CostumeMakingCostume STYLE GUIDE | Star Wars Galaxy's Edge by @AlwaysBelieve youtube.com/watch?v=Yrjt03R4fhE&t=31s--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out our Amazon Affiliate storefront.Here you can find the costume books we use for reference or patterns, favorite sewing tools and our vlogging gear. amazon.com/shop/nikkileeamPlaces you can find us:IG Nikki - http://www.instagram.com/nikkileeamIG Melchior - http://www.instagram.com/thewastedcoat FB - http://www.facebook.com/NikkiLeeamKo-fi - ko-fi.com/leeamWebsite - http://Lee-am.comFor business enquiries only:Leeam.info@gmail.com(We do not take costume commissions)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Images used in this video belong to Disney and Lucas Film and are used under the fair use policyMusic credits:-Noble Race by Kevin MacLeodLink: filmmusic.io/song/4141-noble-raceLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0-Wanderer by Alexander NakaradaLink: filmmusic.io/song/4772-wandererLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0-Vopna by Alexander NakaradaLink: filmmusic.io/song/4748-vopnaLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0-The Crown by Alexander NakaradaLink: filmmusic.io/song/4907-the-crownLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0-Heroes Of Our Times by Rafael KruxLink: filmmusic.io/song/5358-heroes-of-our-times-License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0-Main Theme (The Grand Score) by Alexander NakaradaLink: filmmusic.io/song/4960-main-theme-the-grand-score-License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
