Homeworking + single digits outside = cottagecore, mori kei and ALL THE LAYERS!

Decided to make a petticoat to go under my steampunk/victorian esque outfits...

...And to try and and make an entire 1890s inspired walking suit and underpinnings in 2 weeks around a 40 hour work week while using as much fabric as I already have as possible

The left was my skirt inspiration, and the right is the pattern I already have. Will I get it done in time? Who knows 😅😅

Apologies for the terrible photo quality 😅😅😅, didnt post last night because I was attempting to get more than 5 hours sleep XD, but this is yesterday's progress! The corset is now functional, though in hindsight I should have added more boning channels, and possibly made it a D rather than a DD cup, but hey, first proper corset, so it was a learning process 😅

Jacket body is mostly done, I need to add interfacing to the lower front cause I accidentally skipped a step oops 😅 then the collar, lining and sleeves need to be added...hopefully I can get it done tonight 🤞🤞🤞

I actually managed it! I'm not super happy with how the jacket turned out, but I think that was at least partly a problem of the fabric realistically wanting to be stiffer. I kind of want to take it apart and interline it, and change the way I sew the lining to outer, then reattach the frogs

Currently in the process of making a medieval rope bed....we're very, very close to having the sides all fit together, but it got too dark to carry on (and too anti social whoops 😅)

So enjoy partial assembly plus very frustrated boyfriend (and the 1/10th scale model)

I've been historybounding more at work and today's vibes inadvertently ended up being Julie D'Aubigny

My medieval music duo just released our first EP! Please give the video on tiktok all the love so the algorithm takes mercy on us! 😅😅😅

Today's follow up from this post, corset pieces are all together! The busk was incredibly fiddly because I have no idea where my awl is, so I ended up improvising with a corkscrew 😅😅😅 but once that was in place, it all seemed to go relatively smoothly (relative to other bodice/corsets I've made).

I was hoping to have it done today, but I had to cook food and eat which is highly irritating, plus I had a mini heart attack because I briefly thought that my laptop update had wiped my files.

My plan is to finish it tomorrow, and get the mock up for the jacket cut out (I'm hoping I'll be able to size up enough just on the toile that I dont need to do a full on pattern grading), but we shall see!
