Making The Combinations | Alice Of Wonderland As An Edwardian Lady

- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- Part 1 of making Alice of Wonderland as an Edwardian Lady! Starting with the combinations. I used an old cotton bedsheet and cotton lace and silk ribbon from Etsy. Plus embroidery thread from the thrift store. Making use of what you have and reusing materials is a very historical thing after all! I hope you enjoy watching me chaotically make the first garment of this series, and I look forward to making more Wonderland-y things with you!

"...you should be able to ride it like a saddle..."😄😅😂
On a serious note: Watching you weave the ribbon and embroider reminds me of when my Granny taught me 50+ years ago. 💝
Very neat project and the combinations look great! Excited for the other videos 😊
I have a hard time finding ladder lace, so cutting up holes into the lace you already had was a genious idea!
Wow! I love how after every one of your sewing videos I’m just bursting with inspiration to work on my own projects😄 You did so well!! The perfectionist in me is very satisfied with all the little details and embroidery you did😆💝
💗 thank you! ☺️ I’m very satisfied with the embroidery as well. I always forget how satisfying it is once you get in the groove.
They turned out lovely! I love the daisies and the ribbon. The side buttonhole gather is a clever idea. Glad to see the full video!
Ahhhh they came out beautifully! Now I want a pair of combinations XD
Love these series, can’t ait to see the full product 💕
I love your finished combinations, the embroidery is so pretty!

Great job. Very cute final product. The ribbon looks a bit rough, needs ironing. I would’ve done a ribbon around the legs to tie where you put the bows, but I do like the way it gathered between the two holes. I absolutely love the scattered daisies and all the embroidery!
The ribbon was totally smooth when I put it in. But it’s a delicate silk that got crumpled up as soon as I tightened the ribbon. Couldn’t really be helped. Hopefully at some point I can get some thick silk satin ribbon for it.
This is delightful!
I’m so glad to see the full video, I’m loving this project already! Your combinations turned out lovely, and once again you made it seem so simple with your thorough explanations. 😊🌸 I’m excited for the next edition to the series!
Thank you so much! I’m always afraid that my explanations don’t actually make sense, so it makes me so happy to hear they were clear and useful! 💕
Excellent results
Loved seeing the whole video! Thanks for the historical examples & explanation. Your gorgeous finished combinations inspire me to start working on my own! ✨
Also, your tip about not following instructions in our current era is so true! I like to think if I lived in any of the previous time periods, my sewing methods would still be quite similar to my current chaotic ones!
Exactly! Chaotic creatives have always been around! 😂
Have you thought of using hydrogen peroxide or a teensy amount of indigo to whiten? I know hydrogen peroxide is more readily available and more economically practical but a small amount of indigo is historically accurate to brighten whites.
Yes, I learned about that from Ruth Goodman! But I am pretty happy with them and it would be a pity if the lace or embroidery thread picked up the colour more or less easily than the fabric. I wouldn’t want any of it to be bluer than the rest. I suppose I could swatch test all of my materials though.
Insertion lace is actually called that because it’s inserted into the fabric! As in it divides sections of the garment like a seam. Lace with slots for ribbon is called beading lace 😁
Good to know! That’s what I thought at one point, but when you look up insertion lace on Etsy and other such sites, you get SO much beading lace that eventually I thought I must have gotten in wrong. And technically beading lace is used as insertion lace most of the time so it got o confusing 😵💫

I love them, but I wouldn't want to need the loo in a hurry.
