![Project Vlog: Edwardian Harem Ensemble
Its been a while since ive done one of these! This video focuses on making a unique Edwardian ensemble that is heavily inspired by something Sybil wears in Downton abbey. More information linked below!
Part two will be up next week!
Blog post with more construction notes: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2016/09/23/making-a-sybil-inspired-edwardian-ensemble-part-one/
References of the Downton Abbey Costume:

http://www.thirteen.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2014/10/sybil_harem_dress.jpg
If you want to make something similar with more research behind it, Id suggest looking into Paul Poriets work!
Please excuse me talking about fictional characters like they exist in the intro. Didnt realize how odd that was until I was editing...
All the materials except for the gold trim (random etsy seller) and white lace (The Lace Place) were purchased in the Garment District. I know the beads were from beads world, as were most of the sequins. The pink brocade is from Zahra Fabrics and the netting is from Amin Fabrics. I honestly have no idea where everything else was purchased, theyve been in my collection for ages!

![Hand Sewing a Hem + Catch Stitch Tutorial
This has been requested a lot, so Im excited to share it! The stitch tutorial begins at 2:16 (in case you want to skip the bits about hemming).
Other notes:
The crosses can be whatever width and height you like, I just used half an inch as an example.
If youre working with a fray prone fabric you can trim the bottom edge with pinking sheers, or serge it before turning it inward. You can also turn it in by more than half an inch if youre really concerned.
Alternatively, for smaller hems and thinner materials you can turn it inward by an eighth, or a quarter of an inch. However for tiny hems I find a whip/slip stitch better than a catch stitch!
