Hi and welcome to my blog. This is where you can find out what mischief is happening in my sewing room.
My current project is based on the portrait of Eleanor of Toledo. I have just finished the pattern layout and am about to start cutting fabric for the applique. The fabric in the portrait appears to be a cut voided silk or similar, but as I can't find a suitable modern fabric I have decided to applique black and gold velvet onto a background of white delustered satin. It might take a while but it will be worth it.
Why is it that when you are out and about in a costume someone asks why you are dressed "like that"....

About Me
- sewstylish
- In the Society for Creative Anachronism I am known as Lady Rose Pennyngton, an English Lady residing in Elizabethan London. Sixteenth century English and Florentine costume are my main focus areas, and I particularly enjoy the challenge involved in creating garments based on portraits. I have also made garb from other eras as they were required for particular events, and bits and pieces for people as needed. In the future I intend to kep working towards period authencity and completeness of costume from head to toe. And of course, continuing to have fun costuming :) Please Note: "This site uses cookies from Google to deliver its services and analyze traffic.
