Fur muff, fur tippet and a Regency open robe

August update:

I have completed 3 items in August. They are fur muff, fur tippet and a Regency open robe.The patterns of the muff and tippet were based on "Jane Austen Sewing Box" book. For the Regency Playford ball, I made an open robe using sensibility sleeveless pelisse pattern. I used an ivory "silk" like polycotton for the bodice and sheered curtain for the skirt.

Work in progress items this August are: 2nd mock up of 1817 Spencer Jacket outer sleeves, mock up of man's Regency pants, man's shirt 80% completed, man's waistcoat pattern cut out.

A ruffled spencer

I am creating a spencer to ring the changes with my Regency 'little white dress' to give it a different look.
