Instagram post 2215606888109073038_21462555882 Finaly! Dates are set for next historical corset-making class . It will take place in Växjö, during two weekends in Mars and I am looking forward to eager attendants! See my website for more information. #corsetmaking #historicalcorset #corsetclass #corsetconstruction
Instagram post 2211278963020760540_21462555882 I do believe it is a good thing to take care of every little bit of material and that is precisely what I'm doing now. A new decade will soon begin and we will all need to keep the thoughts of sustanability in everything we do, even corsets. This one is still in the making, tacking-treads included.
Instagram post 2199692083565318388_21462555882 #topnine2019 It feels like nothing, but putting it together it makes me feel a little bit proud. Some 14th century dresses, a couple of late 19th century corsets, a gold and black pourpoint, an architecture- inspired corset for the foundations revealed competition, some steampunk- inspired costumes and the white and red- corset photoshoot a month back! I'm already working on new projects for next year!😊 #topnine2019 #corsetmaking #steampunk #medievalsewing #foundationsrevealedcontest2019 #corsetflossing #historicalcorset #charlesdubois
Instagram post 2191694761472423677_21462555882 During the coldest day of November we had a teaparty showing of three of my corsets from three different timeperiod made from my own historical corset patterns. (With some very non-historical decoration.) In february there will be a new chance to attend a two-weekend-course in corset-making. Keep a lookout on the web-site mytomsydd.se and here on instagram for dates and info to be posted soon. Many thanks to the beautiful models Petra and Rebecca. #corsetmaker #periodcorsets #historicalcorsetry #mytomsydd #periodcostume #steampunkcorset #19thcenturycorset #18thcenturystays
Instagram post 2189513450225731784_21462555882 The list of textile techniques I wish that I could master is long....enormously long. Pretty high up on said list is embroidery and as one has to start somewere in the wast land of stitches, today I started my practise with french knots, many knots. #embroidery #handembroidery #frenchknot #textiledecoration
Instagram post 2185863775945962303_21462555882 Part of my most resent corset pattern, and for the first time in a long while it's not a historical one. If I had to choose one thing to do for the rest of my life it would be to construct patterns. #patternconstruction #corsetpattern
Instagram post 2184106099779854925_21462555882 Winged corset. I finaly got to use my coloured busk, this one is a blown/copper. The corset is really a mock-up or trying out ideas for a new corset-pattern. It is one bust- part short at this stage and a lot of alterations on the pattern will follow, but it feels like i'm on to something good. #corsetmaker #corsetpattern
Instagram post 2176459735730377429_21462555882 Everything isn't corsets and historical costumes. As the darkness falls and the days grow colder I sometimes make little jars out of wool. It is important to keep the sewing-tools warm! #wool #felting #embroidery
Instagram post 2172871774392583665_21462555882 Korset lacing in shades of white. Last night I managed to forget my black dye-bath which resulted in a very black, very dry and broken string and a very black-spotted surrounding. White lacing it is! I am obviousley a danger and fire hazard! #corsetlacing #corsetmaker
Instagram post 2167070342938780895_21462555882 Fallforcostume day 31; "endings" Ending this challenge with a corset. The second one after my own s-curve-pattern that I drafted last year. It's starting to look rather good so it is the ending of alterations for this model. I hope that during the next corset-course I'm teaching someone will chose to make it as well. No ending for costume, I will gladly try to participate next year as well. Many thanks to @redthreaded for hosting the challenge! #fallforcostume2019 #historicalcorsetry #19thcenturycorset #corsetmaker
Instagram post 2166289585916045706_21462555882 Fallforcostume- challenge day 30 and the theme is "beginnings". This is one beginning. My very first stitches on a historical garment. It was a medieval under-dress in linnen. It was 18years ago. I still have it and wear it. #fallforcostume2019 #fallforcostume
Instagram post 2165612592484419053_21462555882 Fallforcostume hosted by @redthreaded day 29, "spooky". This picture is taken before a photoshoot with one of the models losing her intestines to the other model who has found a new and "interesting" yarn-material. It was meant as a poster for the fact that I also work with leather...not sure it wold ever have worked. The only thing I haven't made in these costumes is the white t-shirt and the funnyest thing was making the yarn-wigs. #fallforcostume2019 #fallforcostume
Instagram post 2164877079720846202_21462555882 Fallforcostume-challenge, day 28 and the theme is Romantic. These are two silk soses, approximately 7cm in diameter. The red one is made in viscose-velvet och silk organza, the pink in two layers of dupion. All the petals are individually chaped by warm plyers and spoons. #fallforcostume2019 #silkflowers
Instagram post 2163963912027194957_21462555882 Fallfor costume, day 27; purple. Realised I havn't really made much in purple at all. These little croched cones is about 1-3cm in diameter and part of the decoration for a comming winterproject. #fallforcostume2019 #crochet
Instagram post 2163238251046160288_21462555882 Fallforcostume-challenge, day 26; cold. I rarely expose my self to cold, but my but friend/slave/model and co-art-director #enejohanna voluteered for this corset and skirt on an icing day in february. #fallforcostume2019 #corsetmaker #fairyland
Instagram post 2162703475742698773_21462555882 Fallforcostume-challenge, day 25, theme: warm. I hope I'm not cold at heart, but I am at body and when on rare occation I sew something for everyday-use it is often with inspiration from history and even more often in wool. Here is a wool waistcoat with a wollen pair of trousers, lined with wool and a matching hat and cat. This photo was tanken on a sunny day in mars, and I wasn't cold one bit. #fallforcostume2019 #woolclothing #sewingwithcats
Instagram post 2161948601635723239_21462555882 Fallfor costume-chalenge 2019, day 24 and the theme is "tools". I do have A LOT of tools, but this is one of my many favourites. It is a bottonholecutter with three different withs. As long as it is kept really sharp it is a dream to cut with and I think it's rather beautiful too. #fallforcostume2019 #buttonhole #sewingtools
Instagram post 2161046371243126148_21462555882 Day 23 of the Fallforcostume- challenge and the theme is "steam". This photo is of me, ready to pull myself up on my well ankered airship. It was before the Silwersteam- steampunk- fair in 2018. #fallforcostume2019 #silwersteam #silwersteam2018 #steampunk
Instagram post 2160473414980495640_21462555882 It's day 22 of Fallforcostume- challenge hosted by @redthreaded and the theme is green. I made this little costume for a Steampunk- event some years ago, as it took place in late autum it also inklude a pair of wool- legs in thick tweed . Only corset I have made this far, with a zipper. #fallforcostume2019 #steampunk #tweed #corset
Instagram post 2159664318882684539_21462555882 Day 21.Todays theme for Fallforcostume is "small". I often try out my pattern- constructions and new methods in 1/2- scale. I find it's a good way to se if they work at all. I work as a teacher in pattern- construction in Värnamo, Sweden (Textilakademin) and the 1/2- scale dodices on the picture is made for a class in pattern- construction there. #fallforcostume2019 #textilakademin #patternconstruction
