Tracy's Darling Edwardian Apron

My youngest was wanting a new apron for Christmas. She helps me bake for the farmers market in the summer. This pattern was perfect! She picked the fabric (a little house on the prairie print by Andover). It turned out so cute. I bound the edges on the outside of the skirt for extra detail (this was a yellow/gold print from my stash). Can't wait for her to open it on Christmas.

Jillian's Steampunk Outfit

My boyfriend and I went to New York Comic Con last week and cosplayed as the Luteces from the video game Bioshock Infinite. The game is set in a somewhat Steampunk, Edwardian utopia, and when I started researching for these costumes four months ago I knew right off the bat that I wanted to use your Beatrix Walking Skirt pattern.

Geneece's Edwardian Apron

My daughter wanted something "shabby chic" in nature; but we couldn't come up with something we liked clothing-wise, so we started thinking of curtains for her room. Then it hit us that what she really needed was a new apron. Her child-size Edwardian apron was quite small and she could hardly tie it anymore. We thought the fabric she chose would make a lovely new Edwardian apron, and decided to vary it up a bit by adding a ruffle so that she could incorporate an additional fabric. She actually sewed quite a bit of it herself!

Fleur de Lis Shawl ePattern

You may not be able to buy a paisley or silk shawl, but with a luscious sport-weight alpaca yarn and this PDF pattern, you can make yourself a good substitute! The "Fleur-de-Lis Stole" is luxury itself, with a generous length for the classical Regency drape, and the combination of fleur-de-lis (a popular motif of the time) and a striking edging of fans and tassels.

Naomi's Edwardian Aprons

Thank you so much for providing this lovely apron pattern. One day while watching The Masterpiece Theatre's utterly perfect rendition of "Pollyanna," I promised myself I would one day find an Edwardian apron pattern similar Nancy's (the maid).

Stunning Edwardian Dress

Isn't this the most stunning Edwardian dress? This confection of a dress was sold by Vintage Textile. I'd never seen a dress with a large floral print like this from this time period, but I really like it. From a distance, the effect is one of a soft pink blush. It is only on up-close examination that you see the flowers. Breathtaking! Can't you just picture afternoon tea on the lawn beneath the shady oak? Love it!
