Madame Seiver sews: November 2012
http://atighterlace.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Costume notations of Mrs. Amy Seiver. The "REAL" Columbia Diggins. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Cavaliers and unions suits. I'll have to try again tomorrow to get some better pictures of the union suit I made Charlie today. I still need one more button and the ones to go on his butt. He really is a lot more thrilled with it than the pictures let on. He's having a lazy day and just wants to stand still and star at me. Labels: Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Meet Mrs. Seiver.

Madame Seiver sews: Will work for champagne
http://atighterlace.blogspot.com/2013/08/will-work-for-champagne.html
Costume notations of Mrs. Amy Seiver. The "REAL" Columbia Diggins. Thursday, August 15, 2013. Will work for champagne. I've managed to do quite a bit today, but feel like I did nothing. Oh well. As a base. After seeing the construction photos (and the finished result) over at Before the Automobile. I'm really pleased with the idea. Oh and I painted the garage door today. A huge improvement I'd say, even if it is just temporary. Labels: 18th century court gown. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Madame Seiver sews: Some nearly complete stuff
http://atighterlace.blogspot.com/2011/07/some-nearly-complete-stuff.html
Costume notations of Mrs. Amy Seiver. The "REAL" Columbia Diggins. Thursday, July 14, 2011. Some nearly complete stuff. I gave up on the lace trim idea. I'm going to go with white muslin ruching instead. It's simple, clean, and would be reasonable for a woman working a job such as mine. The dress definitely needs trim though to look complete and break up the monotony of all the pink. I'll also be doing some smocking decoration on the bodice pleats. Sitting down to show some of the poof. A full length shot.

Madame Seiver sews: February 2014
http://atighterlace.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Costume notations of Mrs. Amy Seiver. The "REAL" Columbia Diggins. Sunday, February 16, 2014. I haven't updated here in a long time. It's not because I've forgotten, I just haven't had a chance to sew anything over the holidays and trying to get the house picked up before tech rehearsals for Les Miserables. So I present to you version 1.0 of my Gala dress for opening night. I have not finished, still got about two weeks to go and I might change my mind still. And a few in progress photos:.

Costume notations of Mrs. Amy Seiver. The "REAL" Columbia Diggins. Thursday, July 11, 2013. Navy blue wool gabardine pencil skirt (even though it looks black in the crappy photo with the webcam) and lovely matching Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt. Got the skirt done tonight! There's going to be a lot of button up shirts, dresses, skirts, and "modern" clothing being made in the immediate future. Did I mention that I'm going to get some patterns for jeans this week and try to tackle that? Labels: blue pencil skirt.

Madame Seiver sews: October 2013
http://atighterlace.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Costume notations of Mrs. Amy Seiver. The "REAL" Columbia Diggins. Friday, October 11, 2013. 12th century bliaut construction notes. It occurred to me as I flipped back through the posts of my livejournal that I never posted any construction details of the bliaut I made. As I start out on my next venture making 12th century clothing for a guy friend of mine, I should share the notes I remember about it (mostly to avoid making the same mistakes for a third time). I have no pictures of it, thank God! Subsc...
