The Costume Journal is dedicated to my adoration of luscious silks, bundles of historical patterns, sewing projects, and every costumed event that has ever given me an excuse to make a new outfit from a by-gone era.

And Sew it Goes!
Now that I am free of the bias tape chains, I have made HUGE progress. I've applied all the bias tape that needed to be sewed to the skirt, and sewed together the pieces of the overskirt. I've draped the overskirt over the underskirt so that you can get an idea of what it will look like when it's finished.
The next step is a few pleats that need to be sewn into the overskirt, and then I'll attach the overskirt to the underskirt (this might SOUND easy, but it's going to involve lots of gather, knife pleating, and cartridge pleats). I'm excited/nervous about the cartridge pleats. They're teeny, and supposed take a lot of skill/patience.
