I am joining in with Thursday's My Creative Space at Kootoyoo.
Clockwise from top right:
- Pattern - Folkwear 215 Empire dress
- Pattern pieces - traced and alterations made
- Calico - ready to be cut for the toile
- Inspiration - the gorgeous Jane Austen's Sewing Box
- Moleskine book - sketches, measurements and notes
Somewhat frantic work has started on the Regency-era gown. Stay tuned: this could be good for a laugh.

Hiya! Will you make me one when you're done?!
ReplyDeleteGreat space. I love Jane Austin! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am just sighing... Your dress will be beautiful - Jane Austen is my hero too.
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to seeing the dress :D
ReplyDeleteWow HB - how brave are you - I would be scared to death to make any kind of gown. I am looking forward to seeing your progress
ReplyDeleteWho is to be the lucky recipient of said gown?
ReplyDeleteExcellent, I'm really looking forward to sharing this making with you.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with Jane Austen in a Womens Literature course at a Community College. I think that's when I began talking in really, really long sentences :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the dress in progress!
I look forward to seeing the dress! What is it for?!
ReplyDeleteOk... so I've jsut added about three Jane Austen-related books to my Amazon wishlist, and now I'm dying to see the dress.
ReplyDeleteLove a bit of Regency costume, me.
I recently purchased Jane Austen's sewing box too! Isn't it pretty.
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to see how the gown turns out.
