I have just fallen in love with historic fashion, textiles and techniques.

Last weekend was the first time I wore a _complete_ outfit from the 1900s – or almost complete: the corset was a modern one (I can't sit in the one I made myself 🥲), and the parasol was kindly borrowed from . Despite the heat, it was pure joy to wear, especially while walking with a group of like-minded souls.

One very beautiful moment was watching parasol after parasol open as we walked – a rare and magical sight these days.

Thank you for capturing this moment 📸 in front of the new town hall.

This winter, I got back into knitting and decided to make a vintage-style cardigan. I used a pattern by but couldn’t help tweaking it a bit—I swapped out the lace for a design I liked better.

Not everything went to plan (the sleeves ended up way too long, and figuring out the lace placement was... tricky). But honestly, that’s what I love about these projects. They’re never perfect, but they’re mine, and I learn something every time.

I sewed this dress for a wedding, and let me tell you, it was a journey. At one point, I only had 48 hours left to finish it, and I hate rushing anything—especially when it comes to sewing! 😅

It’s far from perfect, but it worked well for the day, and that’s what matters most. I actually ended up learning a lot in the process. Being forced to work faster pushed me to try different techniques I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. Sometimes the best lessons come when you least expect them.

I really like this outfit, even though it's a bit of a weird mix of colors and patterns. The hat is what I’m still getting used to. I didn’t realize while wearing it how low it sat on my face, but in the pictures, my eyes almost disappear!

I wonder if that was intentional back in the day—maybe it added a bit of mystery, making it hard to see where you’re looking. It's definitely an interesting vibe!

Spent an amazing weekend in Hannover with , and as she mentioned in her post, this is the entrance of the campus for history and philosophy of the University of Hannover (or something similar 🤔) of History. We had so much fun imagining ourselves as students there. Honestly, I feel like a fellow student, both in fiction and real life—I learned so much just from talking about all our projects over these few days.

Grateful for the inspiration and new ideas!

Had an amazing weekend in Hannover with !

Here we found one of many incredible beautiful doors and had to take a picture together.

Our outfits were from slightly different eras but that didn't stop us from feeling like time travelling.

Huge thanks to for making my stay possible! ❤️

I just experimented a little with my hair...

It took a great while until I liked the result, but today I feel cute. 😁

Just got my pince-nez adjusted to my eyesight, and wow, what a difference! My outfit feels so much more put together and coherent now. You can see the comparison with my modern glasses in the last pic.

The only thing I need to get used to is the slight wobble, since they just sit on my nose and are not fixated anywhere else. And how they make my eyes look super close together (check out image 3 for that). But honestly, I love the vibe! 👀✨

So close to finishing the first part of my goldwork embroidery! ✨ The lines are still a bit rough, and it's definitely not perfect, but I'm almost there! 🧵 Feeling proud of how far I’ve come. Can’t wait to see the final result and keep learning with every stitch.

It took me quite some time, but I just finished this mint green blouse! 💚✨
Perfect for a vintage-inspired summer look or a historical-inspired outfit.
And guess what? There's a violet version too! 💜

Swipe to see more angles and details of both colors. Which one's your favorite - mint or violet? I definitely have my favorite, but I would love to know what you think.

Just finished the first part of my first goldwork embroidery! It's the collar piece for the houppelande.
Not gonna lie, it's far from perfect. My lines are kinda rough and maybe a tad too thick. But you know what? I'm thrilled I took the plunge and finally started. 💪
Learning as I go!

28/04/2024

After much thought, I've got the design for my houppelande nailed down. It's been a journey, but I'm eager to dive into goldwork embroidery for the first time. 🧵 Wanted to make sure the design was just right before I start. I used and to create this rendering and see if it works the way I envisioned it! Stay tuned for progress! 🌟
