DIY & Crafts
Exploring vintage crafts like, knitting, sewing and crochet! ✨ Hello! I'm Claude a costume maker, sewing teacher and dress historian making my own vintage wardrobe. I share tutorials to help you learn new sewing skills and share making logs of my projects so that you can see how those skills work in context. I love sharing my sewing adventures with you all; whatever they may be. I love to experiment and try new things so I'll be sure to share all of that with you too. My personal style is usually around about the middle of the 20th century. The 1940s is probably my favourite era to wear but I love to sew styles from all decades. My master's degree in Victorian studies has given me a passion for historical costume and I am looking forward to many 19th century outfits to come. So welcome! I hope you will find something here to inspire your own creative journey and I look forward to sharing my work with you.
