Sew Fortnightly Challenge 1

1813 green velvet spencer

This was my first jacket so I chose an easy pattern to start with, The Sense and Sensibility one. The fabric is a green velvet from my stash and it is lined with black linen also from my stash. I made it during winter break over a few days. I look forward to making more and experimenting with the different styles that were popular then.

This was for the first Sew Fortnightly challenge which had a theme of __13. Any garment with a year that ended in 13. I haven't worn my jacket yet but I'm excited to!

Historical Sew Fortnightly

I have decided to participate in the Historical Sew Fortnightly hosted by The Dreamstress. I am really excited to try to sew more and hopefully blog a little more. Here is the link to the challenge. 

 

I have already made my first piece, a Spencer jacket from 1813 in moss green velvet.
