I am on a job hunt. For the time being there will be no new posts. My sewing machine and materials are packed away until I have a better space that I can work in again. Thanks and Happy New Years!

Hello again. Long time, no see.
One more thing to share today. Hot off the press. Here is a little lolita skirt I just finished up. It’s a poly cotton blend with satin and grosgrain ribbon. It will fit a 28″ waist.
This skirt is available at $35.00 CAD and includes a removable crinoline underskirt for extra poofiness (not in picture). This skirt can be made custom for other sizes. If interested please email envisionedstitches@gmail.com. Love <3
Military Uniform

Hello Again! Second post of the day.
Just wanted to share this 1781 musician’s uniform that I made several years ago. It is one hundred percent wool and linen, hand sewn with linen thread except for inside seams.
1781, King’s Orange Rangers Musician. Pretty certain that time-piece is not period.
I can make a coat or military uniform to order, cost would vary by size and trim needed as wool tends to be a more expensive material. A coat of this particular calibre is $500 CAD. Please email envisionedstitches@gmail.com for information. Also, if you took this photo please let me know and I’ll credit it. It was a few years ago so I am unable to recall who took it 
Thanks.
Pet en l’air

This is probably one of my favourite sewing projects so far. The Pet en l’air, or sack back. One hundred percent linen with silk ribbon ruching and lace trim, all hand-stitched. This particular gown is sewn in at the back, as per client’s request. It is most likely a historical faux pas to do this, however I believe that if I can think of doing it, then people in the 18th century probably did as well. I do have another sack back in the works that will not be sewn in, so you’ll be able to see the difference. This gown is also made to go over hoops, or false hips, although that is not pictured here.
If you are interested in a dress like this it runs at $300 CAD. This is a size small and made of linen. Other sizes and materials would have other costs factored in. Please email me at envisionedstitches@gmail.com if interested in anything that you see in this blog. I will do custom orders.
Thanks for reading <3
