SEW VICTORIAN

Victorian Ball J&C

My goal is to provide you with creative sewing inspiration from the past and present.

A number of years ago, while in Cape May, an historic Victorian City in New Jersey, I experienced a sewing epiphany. It was Victorian Week. Women and men dressed in magnificent Victorian garb were strolling along the mansion lined streets. Men were courteous and handsomely attired in tux and top hats. The women wore bustled gowns and glorious hats appropriately tilted on well coiffed up swept hair. I was mesmerized by the fashions from this period and felt they must have been created by the most skilled couturiers in history.

From that moment on, I wanted to emulate their fashions and sewing skills. I have collected original Victorian and Edwardian periodicals and costumes, inspected them and learned from their methods of sewing. I made many costumes like to one on right to wear to Victorian Balls, Strolls and other Victorian social events. More of my Repertoire will be posted under Creations Tab. Some may eventually be for sale.

Occasionally, from my Victorian and Edwardian periodicals, I will share pictures, sewing instruction and other articles of interest to the sewing community. My patterns are updated versions of fashions from those glorious eras. (Other more modern patterns I developed to fill a void where I was unable to purchase retail or find a current commercial pattern.) I have tried to incorporate many of the vintage sewing processes in my pattern instructions.

As my patterns become available they will be offered through my revised Web Site. I am so pleased to have my site up and running for your perusal.

I hope you will join me in this sewing journey ……..and Enjoy it! Cher
