June Update | Patreon
Between colds, crazy dogs, and deadlines, progress has been hard to come by this month. And so has posting - but that's probably obvious based on my lack of it this month.
I'm really sorry for how neglectful I've been.
However, I'm finally feeling better! And back to work! On bonus projects voted on by patrons, to patreon exclusive stuff, and some personal projects.
This weeks focus is definitely Anastasia and the mint and white rococo costume (Which I've decided will be an oversized robe a la l'anglaise instead of a francaise. Controversial, I know).
I'd really like to complete some things in my bin of "easy" WIPs - which consist of half finished patterns and potential additions to my wardrobe. Most of which have gone wrong, or I just got bored of.
And I need to tackle some of the partially edited videos on my computer. Mostly because I can't edit anything new until I clear out some of the 700gb of video footage currently clogging it up...
Do you have any weekly sewing goals? Let me know!

I'm just curious because I am new to sewing, why do you have so many projects in the works? I love the white butterfly dress & also that black dress! Glad you are feeling better.
Angela-sorry for the late like-but the 3 outfits were lovely. I suffer with migraines and was out of it. Wish McCalls would have you 3 new outfit patterns in the stores tomorrow!!
Glad you’re feeling better!! I think you are doing a fine job, just take your time! I love the idea of doing some Barbie dresses in your size, I say, just go for it! I do have several impending projects waiting for me on my sewing table, and, yup, I’ll get to it when I get to it! Happy sewing!! ✂️🧵✂️
I think you would really love the Mad Men Barbie Betty Draper she is a reproduction as well and her dress is so beautiful .
I'm so excited for all the upcoming projects - especially what you were calling the rococo gown in the video. Speaking of which, I know you're changing it to a robe a l'anglaise, but when pronouncing francaise and l'anglaise, the 's' at the need usually isn't pronounced. Go French! They usually just cut off a few letters on each of their words
I‘m moving soon and mainly just getting rid of stuff (sighs). It’ll probably be autumn, or even winter, before I get back to sewing....so I‘m living precariously through you 🙂
Glad your feeling better. This month I cut into some(very nice) pink tartan tweed fabric and totally messed it up 😱 I spent about a week kinda haunting my sewing room not wanting to start anything because it was such a shame. The pieces kept looking at me from carrier bag I’d temporarily binned them in😰and then saw a 60s toddlers coat, cape and bonnet pattern in my local charity shop. I’m getting to the end of the set now it’s turned out really nice considering what a disaster it was in the beginning. Love watching your videos as always keep it up you inspired me to take up sewing and I really love it now xxx
That Harper's Bazar bustle era dress is my dream costume can't wait to see you recreate it.
Great you’re feeling better and so nice to see the progress, plans and ideas in general. You have great work ethics, we all have more and less productive periods. Looking forward to your update website . . . . . and upcoming videos.
My goal is to make a blouse for my mom and a dress for my granddaughter before I leave on my vacation in early July.Unfortunately I am traveling out of town until the 26th, so I hope to get a good start on my granddaughter's dress and definitely finish my mom's top so I can bring it with me to Mexico for her.
Oh my gosh!!! I am so excited about all your projects! I was absolutely thrilled to see my favorite Barbie dress of all time in your collection - the emerald green satin with tulle overlay! You are soooooo amazing, Angela! Thank you for all you do and all of your incredible talent!
I don't typically have weekly goals but I do tend to make monthly goals. Last month I mocked out a bodice for a Lolita Style Star Trek uniform. This month the goal is to cut out the actual item.
I’m so excited for the Edwardian patterns coming soon. That’s my favorite fashion era and I’m working on the chemise from M7915 now.
I love the idea with the barbie clothes!! 😍
And happy to hear you are feeling better! Your cold sounds like the stuff of nightmares.
Barbie does sound amazing!!
Would love to see the Barbie project as a series. Like with most of your polls, I would have trouble choosing which one I want to see most. My mom still has one of the originals - the one in the black and white striped swimsuit and short bangs. Ugh such glamour!
