Today I have an Edwardian tutorial for you from The Bachelor Girl’s Guide to Everything which was written by Agnes M. Miall and first published in 1916.

I’m in the midst of making my bustle dress so for an interlude I thought I’d work on an era-appropriate hat.

This week I'm coming to you with another tutorial from the Victorian periodical The Housewife (1886).

This is a small 'behind the scenes' post following my 'Victorian 3-in-1 Apron' tutorial.

Today I have another fun pincushion project for you to go along with my Bridle Pincushion Tutorial.
