I've never seen a Victorian mourning belt before -- very cool! Unfortunately, the earrings are too small on the video for me to see what they look like.
My camera doesn't want to photograph them well either due to the black! Maybe I can add an image from their website which definitely showed them better.
The belt is gorgeous. Yes I would definitely wear the belt and intend to have a look round the internet for something similar. Thanks for sharing. I have never heard of these mourning items before so informaive video.
This one has been a long time coming! I took a lot of breaks due to some issues and learned a lot along the way! It all began when I found a secondhand quilt cover with two really pretty patterns: I used my go-to pattern for the skirt. I went with the longer length skirt (view A and B) with the ruffle from the edge of the quilt cover on the bottom. The ruffle. I initially cut out a different bodice but I didn't like the fit. I d ecided to combine the two different fabrics into a Gunne Sax inspired dress with the bodice cut from remainders of both fabrics and a different bodice pattern. The bodice pattern I chose. The new bodice pieces. After that I abandoned the project for quite some time. The centre bodice and side front pieces refused to line up right. I checked and made sure I had cut them out right and I had. I received advice that I needed to notch them and they finally lined up! For the sleeves I had a limited amount of fabric so I had to go with quite small cap sleeves. G
DAY 5 THURSDAY: Melbourne CBD A little sparrow at the markets, I think he was waiting for his coffee order. Vegan cupcakes at the market On Thursday morning we caught the tram to the Queen Victoria Markets. I got another iced decaf coffee. Jon got a breakfast burger. The market was only partway full (there were so many empty spaces) and most of it was the same cheap clothes, tourist merchandise and expensive leather goods. We got a couple of cute presents and a Wednesday tee for $20. We did get a Melbourne magnet for our fridge because I realised a while back having cheesy merchandise from holidays is fun. After looking around the markets, we headed back to the deli hall for lunch (the food court was closed for renovations). I grabbed a vegan pie and a Biscoff cupcake from a Ferguson Plarre's Bakehouse. The pie was really amazing! Jon got prosciutto and salmon wrapped cream cheese . There weren't really many places to sit as there was no food court and most of the seats wer
Hi there, it's been a long time since I visited blog land! Life has been really busy and I have not had any time to write or make videos! Blogging and commenting have fallen by the wayside of my schedule! Thanks to lovely Bracken for asking about my stories, I have written a couple of short stories but I haven't had time to edit them. I am thinking of self publishing a little short story collection but I haven't had time for that either! I have had a few adventures and done some crafts, hopefully I will get around to posting pictures eventually!
