Here are some (not very good) photos of me wearing it! I'll have to get some better ones at my parents house later, because there is absolutely no good space to take photos in my apartment. I don't have any other 1830's things to go with it, and don't currently have plans to make any. I just wanted this dressing gown specifically.

Anyways! There are 6,957 triangles, all sewn together by machine, but most of the actual garment construction is by hand. The unevenness from all the patchwork seam allowances made it very fussy, and the tailoring took at least twice as long as it would have in a normal fabric. The velvet was also a challenge, being the soft drapey wobbly kind, but I managed. I accidentally made my triangles a bit smaller than the ones on the original (C. 1835, Powerhouse Museum collection.) which means there are more triangles than there had to be, but that's ok. I really enjoyed doing the patchwork, it's the most wonderfully soothing brainless task ever and I will definitely make more patchwork things.

I'm very happy with how it turned out! It's comfortable and fits pretty well, and is warm but not excessively so.

I kept timesheets for everything, and I haven't added them up yet, but once I do I'll know exactly how long all of this took.

I also filmed it, but the youtube video won't be out for quite a while, because I still have to write and record some more stuff and then edit a very very very very large amount of clips.

doing Sam's outfits is slightly harder than expected because I'm fighting the urge to just put him in cute outfits while I'm trying to draw what I think he would Actually wear. not just what he'd slay in, but what he would actually own and wear under the given circumstances.

like I keep picturing him in mock/turtlenecks for work, classy but comfortable, and I just Feel like he wouldn't actually wear an off the shoulder top with a scarf as a shawl and a choker to stand in for the mockneck vibe, even though it would Slay. I feel like he'd think that's too Scandalous for work, at least since he hasn't worked there that long, it's not time to get Wild and start showing Shoulder yet.

I also don't think he'd own a gorgeous fitted dress with gold chains and a slew of gold jewelry. Not because he would never want to wear it but because He Doesn't Make That Kinda Money.

I do think he'd own a silly little onesie tho. As a treat.

#ramblings with major #the magnus protocol #tmagp #samama khalid #alice was so much EASIER cuz shes BEEN THERE for almost TEN YEARS it would make SENSE for her to care less about dress code #and i already decided shes obsessed with flannel and does diys in her spare time so her making a patchwork skirt #of work-appropriate length and wearing it isnt that crazy #but sam tho.... he doesnt strike me as a diy type. he'll sew up a hole but thats about it he's not gonna handmake a garment #i think hes at least somewhat stylish tho. he knows what kinds of items he likes and they look good together he can piece together a Fit

This whole youtube plagiarism thing makes me very glad that my videos are basically impossible to copy in a quick & easy way.

#writing the voiceovers does take a lot of time but nobody could just copy it and put it over stock footage!#it'd make no sense without the exact same sewing footage!#nobody is EVER going to say 'wow he got 92k views by spending 371 hours making a patchwork dressing gown? I'll do that too just for views'#youtube #I've had people steal and repost my drawings but they can't take my sewing!#the button & buttonhole tutorials are relatively quick to film but you still need to have put the time in to know how to DO it

Posting screenshots from The Raggy Dolls every day until ITV puts it on ITVX: Day 76:

#ok stupid theory time!!#so Princess is supposed to be a princess doll right #but she looks nothing like the others #(even IF she was a princess doll that got ruined she'd still share similarities with the others like having remnants of a blue dress)#so i have two ideas as to why that is:#theory 1:#she was meant to be a special edition #but the machine messed her up as we are led to believe #OR theory 2:#(which is my personal favourite)#she was never actually meant to be a princess doll at all #what she really is is a test sample for multiple fabrics #that just so happens to share the same base as a princess doll #it makes sense #her dress (while patchwork) is too neatly sewn to have been tore up by the machine #not to mention her hair is completely different to the other princess dolls #and her sharing the same basic body as the princess doll would explain why she was on the production line alongside them #so in a way #she's a bit like sad sack #another thing to add to this theory #is that her speaking voice is different from the other princess dolls #(probably because Neil put in more effort because she's a main character)#idk i thought of this at like 3am #the raggy dolls #princess

i made this dress myself on my vintage singer sewing machine ❤️🎀 i used fabric scraps from a curtain, tablecloth, and a satin dress. this is the first garment i’ve sewed, it’s far from perfect and took me much longer than it should have (my creative process is heavily based on trial and error lol) but it’s so wonderful and satisfying to have a dress i made for free with my own two hands ✨🌿

will definitely be making more of my own summer clothes this year! ☀️

Once again I have triumphed over the haters (silk organza, fray check) and the doubters (my mother) to create a truly incredible second look for my wedding on Saturday
