Oh…wait, what?

I have finally succumbed to the call of the tumblr. I guess this will be (another) repository for all the strange and wonderful things I come across when I should be doing Something Else. I'm fairly certain that Something Else will show up here, too. GRYFFINCLAW { wear }

Here it is! The instructions to make a pieced and quilted plague doctor mask!

Just as a heads up, this pattern is not really recommended for beginners. There is not a whole lot of explanation of the basic techniques, and it requires a fair bit of precision, two types of fusible interfacing, and an assumption that you can keep a consistent seam allowance and do some hand sewing and know when to sew things right sides together and such.

I am not promising anything, different methods will yield different results, I have never made a pattern exactly as it was written and neither should you. If you want something the same as the next person, go to the shops.

Actually, nevermind, this is a quarantine craft, stay home.

help what were those little graspy hands that held stuff people used to wear on their skirts called

[quixoticrobotic]

Chatelaines!!!!!

[quixoticrobotic]

concept: instead of like. a bunch of belt pockets or wtf ever give your character a tricked out steampunk version of THESE PUPPIES

[lesbianaut]

Men not giving you pockets is the mother of invention

CHATELAINS ARE MY SHIT

[housetohalf]

Oh so what femme stage managers do: just tie everything to yourself because you don’t have actual pockets.

[deliriumcrow]

They wore these in the 18th century as well, when women wore massive hanging pockets also tied around their waists, and pocket slits in their skirts to access them. Sort of like two large purses, hidden under your skirt. But the problem with massive pockets, like any large bag without other pockets in it, is that everything falls to the bottom, and you don’t want to be rooting around in there for half an hour trying to find your scissors. So the important things that get used all the time get put on the outside, where they have the additional benefit of being Very Shiny.

[jabberwockypie]

What I am hearing is that we should bring back both ginormous pockets AND chatelaines, yes good
