When you feel super-smug about sewing nine eyelets in a day and a half, then you notice you've sewn them inside out. #sewscottish #sillymistakes #rememberwhatyourhandscando #corselet #mrsdepew #handsewing #passmethescissors #handmadewardrobe #tooearlyfo… ift.tt/2SEDez1

Finally managed one of my #make3in3, a toile of an Edwardian petticoat. This was definitely one of those incomprehensibly slow projects (I think I started it in December), even though there wasn't complicated about it. Now that it's done, I love the sha… ift.tt/2Syu3Bv

Reassured by @marietheresaandlumieres trumpet skirt post, I've redrafted my 1911-ish skirt for maximum kick with minimum width. Next step: Ugly Duvet Cover Toile! #trumpetskirt #patterncutting #thecutofwomensclothes #thisiswhywetoile #uglyduvetcovertoi… ift.tt/392LRKQ

As a rule, I'm going to say it's time to put the scissors down when there's underwear on the living room floor and you have to look up your PayPal activity to remember if you've bought the components you're looking for. #sewscottish #corselet #vintagese… ift.tt/2VwE0RT

3 days late for my second #make3in3 (which I was hoping to get done in February). I'm pretty pleased with my 1950s pattern meets 1910s styling corselet. I need to move a suspender tab, and my 2 inch lacing gap at the back is magically 4 inches, but it's… ift.tt/2TA2mY7

Day 3 of quarantine: My son wanted some embroidery thread for a Niffler cross stitch. I got a bit jumpy and bought an extra #leuchtturm1917 from Fred Aldous Ltd because it's so pretty and I'm making lots of lists and...we should be trying to #shopsmall and … ift.tt/399pGla

In a move that will suprise no one, I decided to draft a pair of slippers last night at 9.15. I'm pleased with my first draft, but my wedge-shaped feet are giving me second draft troubles. Any fitting notes? @mrswhiskersonknits #quarantinecrafts #advic… ift.tt/3apGiqC

Bought a laptop from Dell due to be delivered yesterday. UPS has stopped tracking it, says to refresh the tracking another 24hrs and then ring back? I was really hoping to teach with sound tomorrow. 🙄
