I was able to nearly finish mixing and filling two more beds (added alpaca manure to these two) and mulch my broad beans and one patch of peas next to the rhubarb I planted yesterday. I've placed sticks over the mulch to stop the birds scratching it onto the ground. At 3pm the wind picked up and the sky looked rather ominous so I rugged up and cycled home.<br />

Today I finished leveling up the six beds on the western side of the garden. Two days ago I filled and planted up one bed with garlic and bok choy and today I filled two more beds, and planted out the sprouting snow potatoes in one of the beds. These beds had rabbit manure and straw mixed through them.<br />
My nearby gardening neighbour Minh divided her famous rhubarb plants this morning and offered me some, so I've planted it opposite the globe artichoke in the middle archway bed. She also shared this wonderful-looking savoury recipe, <a href="https://www.gourmettraveller.com.au/recipes/browse-all/persian-lamb-with-rhubarb-and-chelow-11025" target="_blank">Persian lamb with rhubarb and chelow</a>.<br />

A year ago my life went completely topsy turvy caring for my elderly parents. Coping with the stress was hard, and I found the only way to cope was to garden, so I joined a local community garden and got started. Literally - I was given a 50 square metre patch of rock hard clay, so I put in raised beds and built it up. My journey was documented on my facebook page and consumed a lot of my life. In January this year I applied for some more land so I could grow potatoes and sweetcorn, in March I was offered a plot and then refused a plot. So began another nightmare, this time dealing with community garden internal politics. In July I was finally offered two lots of 25 square metres of land, accepted them and made a late start trying to get all my raised beds ready for Spring. I am still trying to get the new garden ready, Spring has arrived, and the politics haven't stopped. Hopefully, with an AGM at the end of this month, I might see a return to a normal community garden.<br />

<b><u>Documentation of Plot 2: My Extension of 12 Raised Beds</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
These beds are filled with a mix of 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 cocopeat and 1/3 mixed compost and manure. I have to be careful what I plant because some of the beds contain horse manure that has not been hot composted or aged for 12 months. I've read that potatoes can get blight if planted with fresh-ish horse manure so am planting them up in my other beds which contain more soil.<br />

I'm sanding it back with a very fine sandpaper so I can then oil and wax the wood. Sadly the screws have rusted and won't come out - I've applied some oil to them and will see if I can get them out later.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've removed the screws - simply get the drill piece that matches the screw head and hammer the screw in a little further with this drill piece and unscrew. They are rusted so need to be replaced with new screws. Having it in pieces will make the sanding process more thorough.<br />

It is still thriving, larger but staying low over the winter. I've put a cover over them to make sure my family don't bury them with leaves.<br />
When I planted them I added blood and bone mix to the soil and in late April I mulched the site with green lucerne hay.<br />

Not sure what variety it is but is certified organic and may survive possum attack better than my poor little spinach seedlings. <br />
I've read that rye will grow in any well-drained soil as long as it is in full sun. It is frost tolerant and can survive temperatures down to -29C (-20F) if the plant is well established before the ground freezes. As I don't expect this bed to go below -10C this winter I'm crossing my fingers that it establishes itself quickly as I've planted it a bit late.<br />
<div>
I'm hoping to use the rye to practice on for straw braiding for my bonnets - but if that doesn't work it will be chopped down and dug back into the soil as a winter manure crop.</div>

Sue and Don had spent five years on Norfolk Island where they became interested in the history and practice of making the cabbage tree hat. The tradition of hat weaving continues on Norfolk except hats are made these days with flax, banana bark and Norfolk Palm.<br />

The earliest reference to wearing cabbage tree hats in Australia refers to an incident with Flinders in 1799 in <b><i>An Account of the English Colony in NSW 1788-1801</i></b>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Flinders was wearing a cabbage-tree hat, for which a native had a fancy. The fellow took a long stick with a hook at the end of it, and, laughing and talking to divert attention from his purpose, endeavoured to take the hat from the commander's head. His detection created much laughter; as did that of another black with long arms, who tried to creep up to snatch the hat, but was afraid to approach too near".</blockquote>

I've chosen a fine white cotton with matching thread for embroidery and will be making a size 12 using the pattern below, which is a screenshot of the pdf that is back online at <a href="http://natmus.dk/fileadmin/user_upload/natmus/historisk-viden/modens-historie/snitmoenster/hvid-brudekjole.pdf">http://natmus.dk/fileadmin/user_upload/natmus/historisk-viden/modens-historie/snitmoenster/hvid-brudekjole.pdf</a>.<br />

Below are the photos I took of this gown on my recent trip to Denmark. It was so fantastic to see it up close, right in front of me. Unfortunately, it was behind glass, so these are the best photos I could get.<br />

<b>Patterns you may wish to use to replicate this gown include:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Nehelenia's <a href="http://neheleniapatterns.com/produkt/chemisenkleid-1797-np404/" target="_blank">1790 Chemise Dress Pattern</a> (based on this exact gown) gives a good bodice base and overlay.</li>
<li>Sense & Sensibilities <a href="http://amzn.to/TZnqiZ" target="_blank">Elegant Ladies Closet Pattern</a> is good to use for dress construction methods as this gown is constructed like the drawstring gown. I used the skirt pattern but adjusted the fabric widths to fit my gown - my front pieces were wider and I used 2.5m for the back panel. Another pattern you could try that I did not experiment with is the <a href="http://amzn.to/2lhrlgh" target="_blank">Laughing Moon Chemise Dress</a>, but it does not have the pleated collar overlay and I am unsure how the front is gathered.</li>
</ul>
<div>
My recommendation for beginners/intermediate is to make the Sensibility <a href="http://amzn.to/TZnqiZ" target="_blank">drawstring gown</a> with elbow length sleeves and add the overlay from the <a href="http://neheleniapatterns.com/produkt/chemisenkleid-1797-np404/" target="_blank">Chemise dress pattern</a>. It's not quite what I did but would probably end being a lot easier.</div>

Over the Christmas break I seem to have spent most of my time organising my trip in June, tidying up my sewing space and planning the program for <a href="http://www.janeaustenfestival.com.au/">JAFA</a> in April. Very soon I'll be back at University and I haven't had a chance to do any sewing yet!<br />

Before Christmas I thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas Carol Ball and love this photo that Dylan took of John and I doing a candle dance. Every year we dance the dances from John's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1445264447/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1445264447&linkCode=as2&tag=janeaustfest-20&linkId=4c721d7d84c17721ce0047474aaf2689" target="_blank">Christmas Carol Dance Book</a> and its so nice to have all our friends around us.</div>

However I can now report that my flights are booked! I'm going to be in the UK from 4 June-31 July spending four weeks researching and photographing costumes in museums for my book "Trims, Frills & Furbelows" <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/tff-kickstarter">http://www.tinyurl.com/tff-kickstarter</a> and then I'm planning to attend needlework classes at the Royal School of Needlework, a textile conservation workshop in Glasgow and then a 3-day Jane Austen event in Winchester. From 1-16 August I'll be attending a historic textile summer school in Denmark, details still tbc.<br />
<br />
I really must thank my husband John for staying home this trip to look after our adult son with disabilities and to making sure our younger teenage son gets his homework done and exam preparation completed and my English friend Jane for offering me a room, giving me a home base to come back to when I need it, companionship and encouragement to keep on track.<br />

This is a pre-order to reserve your copy of the book "Trims, Frills and Furbelows". Delivery is planned for December 2017.

<i>"The finishing touches of the Georgian Era - padded hems, furbelows, rouleaux, piping, ruffles, soutache and fly fringe - oh my!" </i></blockquote>
<br />
There are many books available with a broader scope of different fashion eras, but Aylwen's goal is to focus on trimmings of the late 18th century and early 19th century. She will expand on the details of application and technique using original garments for information. There is a growing group of historical costume enthusiasts and textile conservators who wish to enhance or repair their Georgian, Jane Austen, Regency, Empire and Biedermeier gowns and learn how to make all the lovely trims you see in the pictures.<br />
<br />
This full-colour A4 book (21.0 x 29.7cm OR 8.27 x 11.69 inches) will study the construction details of historic trimmings so they can be added to skirts, bodices, and sleeves. You will see close-up photographs of both the front & back of the trimmings and step-by-step pictorial instructions showing how to make the trimmings so you can add them to your garments without needing to buy any new patterns.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"it will become a standard reference for those who study such material..."</i> </blockquote>
<br />
Aylwen already has permission to conduct research in collections in the United Kingdom (including the Charles Wade Collection from Snowshill Manor, the Hereford Museum and the Olive Matthews Collection, Chertsey Museum) and private collections in Australia to take photographs for publication and if funding is generous will be able to pay for rights to use photographs from other institutions and the UK National Trust. Aylwen brings an immense knowledge of historical textiles and professional desktop publishing experience to this project. She will be combining Adobe InDesign's professional layout and design features with book planning project management software to ensure the book is completed in a timely manner and stays on schedule.<br />

<b>What are the benefits for pledgers?</b><br />
<br />
As a very special thank you, Aylwen has made e-books and hardcover books available to Kickstarter subscribers only and will not be offering them for sale after this project closes.<br />
E-book and printed book subscribers do not have to wait until December 2017 (or April 2018!) - all pledgers will be able to access a password-protected website where they can follow Aylwen's journey and see most of her book updates AND be invited to join a private facebook group where she will post updates.<br />
Stretch Goal #1: reaching $10,000 activates an extra chapter in the book: Reticules, pockets and purses. [UNLOCKED]<br />
<br />
Aylwen will add an extra chapter for no extra charge for ALL BOOK BACKERS on reticules, pockets and purses and will include lots of colour photos, embroidery designs and patterns for making your own.<br />
Stretch Goal #2: reaching $15,000 activates a new companion book: Gentlemen's Fashion of the Georgian Era [LOCKED]<br />
<br />
Once this goal is unlocked Aylwen will offer you a completely NEW REWARD - a long awaited and requested "Costume in Detail" book on Men's Fashion of the Georgian Era - 1730-1820. Aylwen will take photographs of men's garments both inside and out and include close-up photos of finer details and trims. This book will be available for pre-order as soon as this stretch goal is unlocked. A 10% discount will be offered to subscribers of Trims, Frills and Furbelows.<br />
How will the book be set out?<br />
<br />
This A4 book will contain<br />
<ul>
<li>Full-length colour photos of each garment </li>
<li>High-resolution close-up photos of trim showing both front and back (where possible without damaging a garment) and inside the garment showing how it was attached</li>
<li>Step-by-step construction tutorials using photographs of an actual reproduction</li>
</ul>

Aylwen Gardiner-Garden is a historical costumier, experienced historic dancer and professional events organiser based in Canberra, Australia. She is Director of Jane Austen Festival Australia and is currently studying textile conservation. She has won awards for costuming at <a href="http://www.harmanhay.com/amember/aff/go/aylwen">Your Wardrobe Unlock'd</a>, and was especially pleased that her first costume to win an award featured an intricate regency trim. Aylwen sometimes thinks others must think her rather weird when she describes one of the greatest thrills in her life is to be working out how a particular trim is made. Aylwen teaches regular historic sewing workshops from her home studio, at Jane Austen Festival Australia and has taught in the US, UK and Germany.<br />
<img height="207" src="https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/014/925/657/2832d85e31110c9d684fb0055244b094_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1482097602&auto=format&q=92&s=117c1009389e6ebabbeec770b50f7471" width="400" /><br />
<b>How will the funds be used?</b><br />
<br />
The funds raised with this Kickstarter project will enable Aylwen to<br />
<ul>
<li>travel in June 2017 to conduct research and take photos of a wide range of garments in the United Kingdom - including garments from the Charles Wade Collection, the Hereford Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum and the Chertsey Museum,</li>
<li>pay for some of her accommodation during the research period,</li>
<li>take close-up photographs of both original and reproduced trims, </li>
<li>reproduce trims for how-to-do-it instructions, and </li>
<li>self-publish an A4 (21.0 x 29.7cm OR 8.27 x 11.69 inches) full colour 100+ page bound book, to be posted out to Kickstarter supporters in December 2017 before launching it to the general public at Jane Austen Festival Australia in April 2018.</li>
</ul>

<b><br /></b> <b><br /></b> <b>How will you keep the subscribers updated?</b><br />
<br />
I am setting up a subscriber-only section of my website and a private facebook group where pledgers to my Kickstarter costume-in-detail book can follow my research. So, just for the price of a book you can follow my journey, too.<br />
How can I help?<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help! There are a few things you can do:<br />
-Keep sharing this Kickstarter project on facebook, blogs and other social media platforms,<br />
-Send emails to family and friends who may be interested and explain to them that you really want this book (and the new extras!) to be published and that we need more backers to reach our funding goal, and<br />
-Keep this Kickstarter campaign going - we'd love your ideas on what we can do to spread the word.</div>

I am so happy to be adding purses, pockets and reticules. Here is the latest draft table of contents for my Kickstarter Book, '<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/%E2%80%A6/12%E2%80%A6/trims-frills-and-furbelows">Trims, Frills and Furbelows</a>' . As one subscriber said,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"it will become a standard reference for those who study such material"</i></div>
<br />
Even though I enjoy sewing historical costumes, I have found over the years that I much prefer researching the finer details of trims and am so looking forward to sharing all my research with you.<br />
<br />
I still need your help funding this project - every cent will be used towards the project and all the extra costs of camera lenses, tickets, accommodation, car hire, travel insurance, and more!<br />

It would be absolutely amazing if it ended up with both an extra chapter and a second book.<br />
<br />
As you can see by the<b> table of contents</b> image attached below, there is a lot that will be included in this book, including scale patterns you can use for your own projects. Please let me know of any other trims you would like to see added to this book. Curators in the UK are working with me right now to identify the best garments from their collections to use as examples and I welcome all of your suggestions of other collections to visit.<br />
<br />
Remember, as written in the original campaign information, this A4 book will contain<br />
<ul>
<li>full-length colour photos of each garment used, </li>
<li>high-resolution close-up photos of trims showing front, back and inside the garment showing how it was attached, and </li>
<li>step-by-step photographic and written construction tutorials for each trim </li>
</ul>
A few extra tiers have been added to the pledges and you now have the chance to add a 2018 Calendar to your rewards.<br />
<br />
Many thanks, again, for joining me on this journey!

I've put together a Kickstarter project to write a book on Regency-era trims. I'd love your support over the next 30 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="420" scrolling="no" src="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1245085016/trims-frills-and-furbelows/widget/card.html?v=2" width="220"></iframe><br /></div>

<br />
Please <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1245085016/trims-frills-and-furbelows" target="_blank">support</a> this production of an illustrated book showing examples of extant trims and tutorials showing how to make them. This will be your go-to book on trims, frills and furbelows from the 18th-19th Century.<br />
<br />
<b>Why is this project different?</b><br />
<br />
<i>Padded hemlines, decorative furbelows, pleated applique trims, cut-outs, ruffles, piping, soutache, buttons....oh my!</i><br />
<br />
There are many books available with a broader scope of different fashion eras, but Aylwen's goal is to focus on trimmings of the late 18th century and early 19th century and expand on the details of technique. There is a growing group of costume enthusiasts who wish to enhance their Jane Austen, Regency, Empire and Biedermeier gowns and learn how to make all the lovely trims you see in the pictures. This full-colour A4 book (21.0 x 29.7cm OR 8.27 x 11.69 inches) will study the construction details of historic trimmings so they can be added to skirts, bodices, and sleeves. You will see close-up photographs of both the front & back of the trimmings and step-by-step pictorial instructions showing how to make the trimmings so you can add them to your garments without needing to buy any new patterns. Aylwen already has permission from some collections in the United Kingdom and Australia to take photographs for publication and if funding is generous will be able to pay for rights to use photographs from other institutions.<br />
As an extra thank you, Aylwen is making e-books available for Kickstarter subscribers only and will not be offering e-books for sale after this project closes.<br />

<b>How will the book be set out?</b><br />
<br />
This A4 book will contain</div>
<ul>
<li>Full-length colour photos of each garment </li>
<li>High-resolution close-up photos of trim showing both front and back (where possible without damaging a garment) and inside the garment showing how it was attached</li>
<li>Step-by-step construction tutorials using photographs of an actual reproduction</li>
<li>Stepping you through making a neckline trim and a hem frill.</li>

<b>About the Author</b><br />
<br />
Aylwen Gardiner-Garden is a historical costumier, experienced historic dancer and professional events organiser based in Canberra, Australia. She is Director of Jane Austen Festival Australia and is currently studying textile conservation. She has won awards for costuming at <a href="http://www.harmanhay.com/amember/aff/go/aylwen">Your Wardrobe Unlock'd</a>, and was especially pleased that her first costume to win an award featured an intricate regency trim. Aylwen sometimes thinks others must think her rather weird when she describes one of the greatest thrills in her life is to be working out how a particular trim is made. Aylwen teaches regular historic sewing workshops from her home studio, at Jane Austen Festival Australia and has taught in the US, UK and Germany.</div>

<b><br /></b> <b>How will the funds be used?</b><br />
<br />
The funds raised with this Kickstarter project will enable Aylwen to<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>travel in June 2017 to conduct research and take photos of a wide range of garments in the United Kingdom - including garments from the Charles Wade Collection, the Hereford Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum and the Chertsey Museum,</li>
<li>pay for some of her accommodation during the research period,</li>
<li>take high-resolution photographs of both original and reproduced trims, </li>
<li>reproduce trims for how-to-do-it instructions, and </li>
<li>self-publish an A4 (21.0 x 29.7cm OR 8.27 x 11.69 inches) full colour 100+ page bound book, to be posted out to Kickstarter supporters in December 2017 before launching it to the general public at Jane Austen Festival Australia in April 2018.</li>

<div style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<b>How can I help?</b><br />
<br />
Thank you for your help! There are a few things you can do:</div>
<ul>
<li>Back this Kickstarter project early so that others can see this is a popular project and likely to succeed, </li>
<li>Share this Kickstarter project on facebook, live journal and other social media platforms, </li>
<li>Send emails to family and friends who may be interested and explain to them that you really want this book to be published and that we need more backers to reach our funding goal, and</li>
<li>Let Aylwen know how she can improve this campaign!</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Remember: </b>funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing. No one will be charged for a pledge towards a project unless it reaches its funding goal, so thank you in advance for sharing this with your costuming friends over the next 30 days.<br />
<br />
<b>Risks and challenges</b><br />
<br />
The biggest challenge with this project is getting the full amount raised to get it off the ground. Aylwen needs to raise funds now to purchase return airfares from Australia to the United Kingdom at low rates as discount seats are selling fast. Permission has already been granted to access certain collections, to take photos and publish them in this book. Aylwen is an experienced desktop publisher having worked on over a hundred books in the last ten years and is looking forward to completing this project.<br />
Aylwen will be relying heavily on people sharing news of this project with their friends in forums and on social media to meet her target.

Finally sewing trim onto the dress itself is not for the faint-hearted. I'm not brave enough to share with you how much unpicking I've had to do before getting it this far! I now have a page of good hints to share in my trim workshop/demonstration next year.Aylwenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12522598956584641071noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-546240319191736849.post-46537845782886928852016-08-17T16:24:00.000+10:002016-08-17T16:26:42.211+10:00Online exhibition - invitation to be involvedAt <a href="http://www.janeaustenfestival.com.au/">Jane Austen Festival Australia</a> in April 2017 I'll be putting on an exhibition of antique men's and women's Georgian & Regency clothes (a minimum of 20 items). Soon afterwards I hope to launch it as an online exhibition - and that's where I'd like to invite you to be involved in making it bigger and better. Do you collect clothing or accessories from this period? Would you like your items to be part of a global online exhibition? Or do you have computer time and skills you'd like to share helping to get this collection online? Would you like to be able to access a collection where you can click on an image to see close-up interior construction shots? If there is damage a link to conservation methods for repair or storage? Would you like to see links to similar garments online and patterns or books that could be used to make them? Maybe even an online calendar listing events around the world you could wear them to? Can you help write a draft crowdfunding proposal to help cover some of the costs of this project and to self-publish a colour book of the online exhibition?<br /><br />I'm making a start on this in the next 7-10 days and welcome your support and ideas. <br /><br />

Its a bit of a rush job, as I have a few other items to finish before I leave. I don't have much room in my suitcase so chose to make a late period gown using some silk in my stash and a beaded sari left over from making a regency court train.<br />

<b>Fabric inspiration:</b><br />
I found a piece of silk blend fabric for the trunkhose and doublet from a secondhand store in Cooma and a sari online for the jerkin and trunkhose panes. These fabrics were nice and light, and silk always impresses me with its ability to flatten really easily. The sari matched the older Sir Walter Raleigh's outfit perfectly! I found a matching trim at Heritage Trading on Ebay.<br /><br /><br />

I started out using the Tudor Tailor pattern but ended up adapting the trunkhose so they were more comfortable to wear. The pattern itself was a challenge, as it was on an enormous sheet of paper and did not come with seam allowances marked. As I did not have a tool to mark the lines I had to use a piece of chalk and ruler and work my way around all the pieces - including all the panes!<br />
<br />
I learnt an enormous amount about the layers in this particular outfit that I had not known when I had made Elizabethan costumes in the past. Previously I had made a doublet with detachable sleeves and had not been aware that normally the sleeves are sewn in to the doublet body and that the sleeveless jerkin was worn over the top. Pinterest saved the day as I was able to view so many more historic portraits than before when I had questions.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also learnt that people will notice hand sewn buttonholes - John couldn't believe how many comments he received when he wore the outfit a few weeks ago!<br />
<br />

Last night Aylwen started teaching a beginner sewing class so that people knew enough to join some of the historic fashion classes. It was a lot of fun - and so useful to start at the very beginning.<br />
<br />
The workshops listed below are special add-on limited attendance workshops for <a href="http://www.janeaustenfestival.com.au/tickets" target="_blank">Jane Austen Festival Australia ticket holders</a>. Attendees need to have prior sewing knowledge and bring a sewing kit and working sewing machine with them as the intention is to finish the item by the end of the workshop. Please check workshop description for pre-requisites.

This is a full 3-day workshop using the new Laughing Moon short stays pattern. The corset is made of a sturdy cotton or linen and edged with white bias tape. It laces together in front and is stiffened in front with flexible boning. For fuller busts, gussets are added to give the proper lift needed for this period.
Kits will include your pattern, mockup material, boning and instructions.
Please bring: fabric to make your corset (advised below), <span style="text-decoration: underline;">a regency chemise</span>, a recently serviced sewing machine, and the usual sewing equipment (pins, scissors, tape measure, sewing cotton etc)
<br />
<ul>
<li>For outer layer: 1m white silk, linen, or cotton.</li>
<li>For interlining: 1m white coutil, linen or cotton canvas or cotton duck.</li>
<li>For lining: 1m white linen or cotton.</li>
</ul>
The corset is made of a sturdy cotton or linen and edged with white bias tape. It laces together in front and is stiffened in front with flexible washable boning. For fuller busts, gussets are added to give the proper lift needed for this period. The short corset was used to display the various progressions of the Empire waist gowns, which were popular from 1790s to about the 1820s. This corset can also be covered in white cotton or linen if desired.<br />

<i>Please note: only choose the "without pattern" if you already have a copy of the pattern and can bring it with you. If you attend the workshop without a pattern you will have to purchase a new pattern for an extra $35. If you are attending from interstate and forget your fabric you can purchase from Addicted to Fabric (Phillip, ACT), Lincraft (DFO, Fyshwick or Woden, ACT) or Spotlight (Queanbeyan, NSW). Coutil is best purchased online, allowing plenty of time for shipping, whilst cotton duck can often (but not always) be found in the upholstery/curtain section of a fabric store. Workshop fees are non-refundable for any reason but are transferable up to two weeks before the workshop.

<strong>Laughing Moon Bib Front Dress Workshop</strong></h2>

<span style="font-size: small;"><strong style="line-height: 1.5;">Teacher: Adrienne Unger, NSW </strong></span><strong style="font-size: medium; line-height: 1.5;">D</strong><strong style="font-size: medium; line-height: 1.5;">ate: Thursday 14 April 2016
</strong><strong style="font-size: medium; line-height: 1.5;">Venue: Hyatt Hotel, Commonwealth Ave, Yarralumla.</strong></h6>
<strong>Pre-requisite:</strong> It’s a good idea to come prepared wearing whatever underpinnings you will be using for the dress. Best is shift and stays, (check with <a href="http://aylwen@janeaustenfestival.com.au/">Aylwen</a> for resources) or a good, push-up wide strap bra, and a petticoat!
The Laughing Moon 126 Bib Front dress has taken the Regency dressing community by storm. It is well researched, with a full range of sizing. It has a range of sleeves, and can be made up to suit from work dresses, to promenade to ball gowns. The instructions are very clearly presented, and it is a dress that has some ‘forgiveness’ built in with its tie and pin fastenings. For those of you with dressmaking experience, it will be a straight forward sewing task, though there are some parts of the instructions that do skim over assumed knowledge. Together let us make you a gown in a day!
There will be hand sewing only for visible hems, so you will need to bring your machine, and overlocker if you use one, and all you regular sewing kit, fabric and lining needs and the ‘notions’. Three weeks before the workshop we will send you your pattern so that Adrienne can individually guide you through pattern tracing for your measurements before you get together.
Lunch and refreshments are not provided with this workshop as there is a cafe at the Hyatt you can purchase from.

With small children at home, she made wedding and bridesmaid dresses and sewed for her family. Later, dancing at Colonial balls inspired her to make her own period gowns, and, keen to learn more, led to her discovery of the TAFE Diploma of Theatre Costume -a four year vocational training course in costume design and construction - from which she graduated with Distinction. Adrienne now runs a small costume business from her home, mostly but not exclusively making Regency wear. Dancing and dressing the part continue to be her great pleasures.
Please note: only choose the "without pattern" if you already have a copy of the pattern and can bring it with you. If you attend the workshop without a pattern you will have to purchase a new pattern for an extra $35. If you are attending from interstate and need some fabric you can purchase from Addicted to Fabric (Phillip, ACT), Lincraft (DFO, Fyshwick or Woden, ACT) or Spotlight (Queanbeyan, NSW). Workshop fees are non-refundable for any reason but are transferable up to four weeks before the workshop.
