1910s Undergarments and Patterns
Here I talk about the undergarments I have made for my entry to the 2021 Foundations Revealed competition. The theme this year is Once Upon a Time and you have to make a garment or outfit based on a character from a book. I am making a motoring outfit based on the character of Billie from the Motor Maid series which came out between 1911-1914.
Foundations Revealed's competition is open to anyone: foundationsrevealed.com/competition/
Combinations, Corset Cover and Petticoat are made with the Folkwear 203 patter: www.folkwear.com/collections/vintage/products/203-edwardian-underthings

So settle in, grab some hand sewing or something and enjoy! In case anyone really wanted my saw or drill, here are some affiliate ...

Sewing an Edwardian Bathing Cap

In this second part of my series about sewing an Edwardian Bathing Costume using Folkwear 253 (www.folkwear.com/collections/vintage/products/253-vintage-bathing-costume). The bathing cap is pretty simple but was a fun make. For anyone interested, the pleating matched up to the band, unlike the problems I had with the body.

    Ive spend this weekend binge watching your cocovid videos on early photography and really enjoyed them. I collect cabinet cards and in the past have attempted to find their living family members to return them to (I've only succeeded once to return one to their great granddaughter). I have one Ambrotype photo that was given to me by a camera shopkeeper in new mexico, which Ive been trying to research how to preserve/take care of. Are ambrotype photos as delicate as daguerreotype photos? Do you know of anyone who restores these types of photos or have any tips for fixing broken spines? How to your store your photo collection? The case you made is very impressive, I really hope you make a video someday on how to make cases! Thanks so much for these videos, they really are very informative.

    • @VtorHunter
      @VtorHunter Год назад

      I am glad you enjoyed the videos! That is so fun that you found the great-granddaughter of one. So special. Ambrotypes are not as delicate as daguerreotypes. They are varnished which helps to protect them some. They are made of glass though so are fragile in that sense and are easy to break, hence why they were mostly in cases. For broken spines, I know that some people fix them with a super thin leather or sometimes with silk. I would probably use a PVA glue or something for bookbinding, something ph neutral. I store most of my collection in an old shoe box, which isn't the best kind of box. An archival storage box would be better but I do have all my loose tintypes and ambrotypes in archival sleeves in the box. I hope that helps!

    Thanks, Victoria! Very helpful in understanding the whole process of the different photo methods and photography. I have dozens of Cabinet Cards and a bit less of the CDVs. It is quite amazing to see how so many have survived the 100+ years of existence. in very good condition. I scan many of my Cabinet Cards and CDVs, posting them on Instagram, Facebook, and Flickr. Always fun doing the research to find out when they were taken and by what studio/photographer. Many of mine are from the Michigan area, so it is easy to track the photographers and studios since there is an online database listing 8,000 early photographers from 1840 to 1920 that practiced in Michigan, many of them in the Detroit area. But the challenge so far has been not finding any Cabinet Cards west of St. Louis. I never have found any from states like California, Texas, Nevada, Washington State, or other areas out west. Anyway, I have not found many stereo cards in my area, so I concentrate on only Cabinet Cards and CDVs. Keep up the great work 👍

I've seen some on old maps, but it would be great to find photos from them and then visit the addresses.

I mean if it has a date on it look up the time period, it isn't that hard.
