Sewing Project for a Renaissance Faire!

I posted a few days ago that I’m working from simplicity 3635 and I’m making a corset with over 30 yards of boning in it, wowsers, I have a few pics of the start of this project that I thought I would share.

One is the pattern pieces cut out and a close up of the striped fabric I’m using.  The skirt will be absolutely beautiful (Mccall’s 4090) it’ll be olve and rust colored panels, I’ll post pictures of that when I get started on it. I’m also making a man’s costume for my boyfriend, I’ll post that as it progresses.  And… I’m making a jet black corset (same pattern) for my best friend, it’ll be so awesome! Needle work and embroidery will need to be done on the corset in the colors from the skirt, I love details!

 

 

Etsy Shop

My etsy shop is http://portablegreen.etsy.com, I’m adding new products to the shop as quickly as I can, while I’m in the midst of other projects, like sewing, currently I’m in the process of creating renaissance costumes for myself and my friends for a fall renaissance faire this year, I’m using simplicity 3635 and it uses nearly 30 yards of boning! It will be a challenge, but one that I’m all ready for, I love to work on and create clothing especially corseted costumes, I will be posting pictures as this project progresses.

I am going to add a quick pic of a lovely landscape from a picnic I attended yesterday, it was a beautiful church picnic out in the country.

Hello Everyone!

Today I’m launching my portable green blog, a place for me to ramble about etsy and the goings on in my life, enjoy!
