As a WAHM, getting work done at set times, doesn't really happen. Last minute trips to the playground by a caring husband means this tired mama can sneak in a few minutes of work… #livinghistory #womeninbusiness #aimeevictorianarmoire #historicalfashion #aimeevictorian #organization #wahmlife #organizedlife #organizing

This was probably one of my MOST FAVORITE blog posts to write of all time. I think I had watched way too many splashy 1940’s-1950’s musicals of adventure and singing on the high seas, that I had to research and write about it! I hope you enjoy this post and maybe feel the itch to do a little high seas travel yourself before the summer comes to a close! See stories for link!

A question I get asked often is how often and when I use machines to create my garments…especially if I am creating an item from a time period when there were definitely no sewing machines. This really depends on how the item is meant for and its purpose. Often for clients who need a gown with strength and within a certain budget, I will do the basic construction with a machine and then visible stitches by hand. If the item is meant for a museum or for my personal use, I will do as much by hand as possible. Especially stitching cartridge pleats…I LOVE hand stitching cartridge pleats! #historicalseamstress #aimeevictorian #aimeevictorianarmoire #sewingpatterns #historicalsewing #historicalfashion #19thcenturyfashion #19thcentury #livinghistorian #historicalblog #livinghistory #regencygown #victorianfashion #historicalfahsion #1810sfashion #regencyfashion #workinggowns #womeninbusiness

Let’s get organized! Have lots of random pieces and lengths of trim? Wrap them around narrow pieces of cardboard and store them in small plastic totes. I really like the scrapbook totes from #michaels I have one for just lace and another for larger widths of satin, velvet, and silk. #aimeevictorian #vintagefashion #aimeevictorianarmoire #sewingpatterns #vintagesewing #historicalfashion #historicalseamstress #wahmlife #organizing #organization #organizedlife

The delicious treats are starting to show up in the garden! Mmmmmmm….. #aimeevictorian #gardening #gardeninglove #gardeninglife #gardeningisfun

The majority of my digital patterns use a process of self-drafting. Where you take measurements, and then create the pattern on paper using a series of points. While this may seem intimidating to those who have primarily used only paper patterns, self-drafting really allows you to create any garment for any size.
