I love late Victorian and Edwardian sweaters! 😀 Over the years I’ve made various Edwardian-style sweaters: some are refashioned from modern sweaters and some are hand-knitted and crocheted. Below are 7 of my historical sweaters including tutorials on how I made the sweaters. Refashioned Edwardian-Style Sweaters Knit sweaters and cardigans were a popular choice of … Continue reading 7 DIY Edwardian Sweaters – Refashion, Knit & Crochet →

En liten rapport från min virk-/heklekurs i historisk virkning. Vi gick igenom pjoning/smygmaskvirkning, flerfärgsvirkning, kärleks- eller änglamaskor, hur man syr flossa och slår kavelfrans. Ovan en liten del av mina förberedelser inför kursen, en pjonad (smygmaskvirka på norska, ett ord jag gillar) vante inspirerad av en pjonad vante från Akershus som jag hittade på digitaltmuseum.no se originalet här. Pjoning drar ihop sig en hel del så jag använde en virknål stl.7 istället för en i stl.4-5 som jag annars använt till garnet, vars löpmeter låg på 100gr/100m. I början var vantens bredd ca. 1/4 del större än den blev när jag virkat några varv upp på manshetten. Några av deltagarnas pjoning. Sen jobbade vi med flerfärgsvirkning, väldigt skojig teknik. En av deltagarna hade med sig en Flesbergvante som hon startat på en annan kurs. Jättefin och tätt virkad, den var ganska stabil och nästan lite hård. Kärleksmasketeori på svarta tavlan. En av kursarnas tolkning av mitt skissande=bevis på att de förstog mina skisser. Sist en rad med actionshots från kavelfransslåendet. :) Det var tydligen viktigt med en avancerad fotställning till detta, troligtvis för att vi hade lite långa knyttrådar.

Victorian Knitting and Crochet facts are totally fascinating! From lace trimmed collars to delicate home decor, Victorians loved making crocheted and knitted decorations. And can you guess which monarch was the inspiration behind the popularity of our beloved craft? My interest in Victorian era knitting and crochet started with a recent trip to the Biltmore

I recently decided to try something new in my historical clothing journey. Accessories is an area that I have wanted to focus on for a while now, but I have been busy with making the basics of a wardrobe. That is a time consuming process when dressing for different periods. It has always upset me that I still do not have a fully finished mid Victorian outfit and accessories do make an outfit. I have been focusing on researching outerwear and found many photos of women wearing sontags. While I have read blogs about how many people wear these in the states, I had never seen one worn in Australia. I am not sure if this is because my group represents a more social elite or because most of our events are in summer. It seemed perfect for me, however, as it gets very cold where I live in the hills. It was also a great idea as I could knit it on the bus on my way to university. There was one problem though, I didn't know how to knit. I showed the January of 1860s Godey's Sontag pattern on Ragged Soldier to Jessie and she was kind enough to give me a basic lesson in knitting. I did have problems with working out what needles and wool to use. It turns out that UK, USA and Australia have different needle sizes. This was very frustrating for a beginner. In the end I used 4mm needle with 8 ply wool. To finish it I used two rows of single crochet (this is double crochet in the USA, so another conversion issue) and then a shell boarder to finish it. Jessie and a friend of hers also taught me how to crochet. To finish it I googled how to make dorset buttons. I did not feel that any other button would be suitable. This was a great learning project and I hope to continue developing both my new skills. Thankfully, I keep getting told I am a fast learner so it only took two weeks from start to finish. The finished sontag laid flat Front View Tied Up Back View Tied Up Close up of the Dorset Button The crocheted tie and tassel It is very comfortable and easy to wear. I am now collecting CDVs and dreaming of the next one I plan to make, so watch my knitting space... The Challenge 20# Outerwear 1860s Sontag Fabric: 100% Wool in two colours, 4 balls of tan and 2 of dark red Notions: Bone Ring for Button Pattern: Godey's Ladies Magazine and Ragged Soldier Year: 1860 How historically accurate is it? I think it should be fairly good. I tried to keep the dye choices natural based. I am not sure about the crochet shell boarder though. Hours to complete: Two weeks of bus rides First worn: 22nd September Total cost: The wool was about $35 in total

⚠️ In case you’re printing out the pattern, consider that you don’t need to print all pages. The charts for the short-row shaping are created for different sizes, so look out! ~~~~~~~~~~ The vest is inspired by knitwear from the 1890s and 1900s, featuring design details like a pointed hem, a fitted bodice, and narrow shoulders. When combined with a delicate blouse with puffed sleeves, it creates a perfect Edwardian look. Whether you are into historical reenactment or not, this vest can be worn over a corset or without one. The main pattern of the vest is similar to a cable pattern but is created by passing a stitch over the others. The stitch is inspired by one of Hitomi Shida‘s publications „250 Japanese Knitting Stitches“. The vest is knit from the bottom up. The use of short rows on the front hem creates the typical pointed shape of 19th-century bodices. The front and back pieces are knit in one, without any side seams. After finishing these, the shoulders are joined together, and ribbing is added to the armholes and the neckline. In the end, a button band and buttons are added to the front pieces. ~~~~~~~~~~ SIZES (body, not garment measurements) A (B, C, D) E (F, G, H) I (J) 80 (88, 96, 104) 110 (116, 122, 128) 134 (140) cm bust circumference 64 (72, 80, 88) 95 (101, 108, 114) 121 (125) cm waist circumference If you find yourself exactly between two sizes, you can go one size down.

Started by Emily Adams Bode in 2016, BODE is a brand that links the sentimentality and artisanship of yesteryear with modern takes on classic silhouettes. By repurposing historic materials from the past and reimagining them in a new context, BODE's pieces carry a dream-like, ethereal aura. From work jackets and pants surgically crafted from antique quilts to the excavation, celebration, and reinterpretation of Indiana's senior chord trend from the early to mid 20th century, Bode's reinterpretations are the perfect vehicle to highlight her eye for design while shining a spotlight on old textiles, arguing for both their beauty and their relevance in luxury menswear today. This crochet shirt is inspired by a tablecloth from the 1940s-1950s. We have reproduced the original knit and pattern for this piece, which is closed with button-loops, a fastening style common in summer knitwear.  100% Cotton Five front buttons Made in India MRS23KT023
