More from my closet

Dear Constant Reader,

Despite the title, this is really more from my sewing room. Continuing in my theme of little-garments-that-don’t-really-cover-my-legs, here’s a pair of 1940’s style shorts I made.

Again, I apologize for the quality of the picture. The shorts are much cuter in person. They’re made of berry-colored linen with a zipper in the back and pleats on each leg. They’re so very comfortable and I’m considering making a few more pairs.

Hopefully we’ll have a few more warm days for me to wear them.

A Little Lingerie

Dear Constant Reader,

We’re only just getting to know one another, so you may not be aware that I like to sew. And I have a fondness for historic clothing. You may get to see photographs of some of it from time to time.

Here’s a lovely little piece of lingerie I made some time ago, but only just photographed. Yes, it’s not the best picture in the word, but my bedroom is somewhat dim and one can’t use a flash when shooting in a cheval mirror (or really any mirror — I just wanted you to know I had a cheval mirror in my boudoir).

They’re 1920’s-style tap pants made from an old silk shirt. Cute and thifty!

I have another item or two I might share with you, if you’re lucky!
