Ye Olde Costuming Journal

I just watched The Bostonians on DVD. Didn´t know anything about the book and the story, so I had to watch it twice to understand it in full. The story... well, there´s not much I liked about it and Christopher Reeves didn´t work for me in a period drama, but the costumes are a feast!! I migth have to get the DVD just for the costuming.
Went to see the new Sherlock Holmes a few days ago - sheer awesomeness! I loved everything about it, it was highly entertaining and I hope there will be a sequel. Jude Law rules as Watson!! Although Jenny Beavan did the costuming there isn´t much loveliness going on with the female characters, but anyway it is a great movie! Great images of victorian London and just everything a Holmes movie needs. Go see it if you haven´t yet! 

I´m pondering about getting some extra feet for my sewing machine - does any of you own a piping foot and is it worth having? Other possible options are getting a gathering or pintuck foot. I´d love to hear about your experiences!

It just started snowing in West London!! Come on God, let it snow!

I just listed some new items in my etsy store!

Awesome new Christmas items just added to our store!

I laughed so hard it made me cry. Enjoy!

It is official now: from today on I hold the London branch of Neheleniapatterns.com and sell our range of sewing patterns here in the UK! I uploaded them to my etsy store today and must think of other uk-related marketing options.
I only sell our own line of patterns, that were either taken from antique patterns or hand-drafted (not computer graded!!) from extant garments by yours truly.
The line includes 18th, 19th and 20th century patterns, from underwear to accessories to dresses. If you´re curious now go take a look at
my London-based etsy store!

The little fluffer came home to us on Friday and we are having a wonderful time with him! He is so sweet and friendly to everyone, it´s amazing! He is moving around our house like he´s always been here. Our big ones are a bit upset but it´s getting better. I´m sure the boys will be buddys soon. Bella is quite the diva and still hissing and growling at him, but little G is rather unimpressed!
As you can see he is really talented & helpful in the sewing room!

I wanna be a bearded lady. With this thing I can!
