I made spats using plastic wrap & it actually worked! Edwardian Sewing Experiment gone RIGHT! Dames a la Mode 2021-09-01 | Hi friends! Here was my experiment making spats using a pattern I made out of plastic wrap! Several people on Instagram commented that stabilizing the pattern with masking tape once you had it wrapped made it easier to handle. I didn't try that but it may help if you find your pattern is stretching/distorting when you're trying to cut it off. The shoes are "Bernadettes" from American Duchess: americanduchess.com/collections/edwardian-shoes-and-boots/products/bernadette-edwardian-oxfords-tan-brown?variant=35772461744278The wool, buttons, linen tape, and hooks & eyes all came from Burnley and Trowbridge: burnleyandtrowbridge.comMusic used:Brooklyn BurgersSophisticated LadySunny Side UpWish You Were ThereAll of the above by Golden Age RadioClumsy Chevalier by The Fly Guy FiveDirt Floor Boogie and Tablespoons by Martin LandstromOther places to see my work:My historical jewelry shop: damesalamode.comMy Instagram: instagram.com/dames_a_la_modeMy Facebook: facebook.com/damesalamodeSupport my content via Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/damesalamodeMy Amazon page with my favorite historical costuming tools and references (these are affiliate links - I will receive a small incentive if you purchase via one of my links - thank you!): amazon.com/shop/dames_a_la_mode
