Today's WIP

So firstly I wanted to thank everyone for the amazing response to the jabot I listed a few days ago, I didn't expect it to be such a hit.

With that said, I am going to be making a few more for the shop that hopefully garner similar attention. And today I started the first one I had planned on making anyways.

It's coming together nicely if I do say so myself, but obviously its not finished just yet.

I'll be keeping everyone updated on the progress of this and the other jabot I'll be making. So stay tuned...

Bat's in the Bramble Necktie~

Another necktie finished, this one a little different from the others because i didn't have enough of the same type of vintage satin fabric so its a bit of a patchwork piece. But as I always say...bows and lace solve all problems. And I think for this piece both things make it really "pop" if you know what I mean.

Also a head ups, i will be posting about when my next shop update will be soon. It'll likely be late next week, but it all depends on if I can finish my next project in a timely manner.

Finished :)

The look is more casual and subdued, but I like to offer that in my creations once in a while. I mean they can't be dripping in lace all of the time.

Anyways, on to my next project...

Today's WIP~

A "mini' jabot, with batwing details of course. This could also be used a a brooch or hair accessory too, its very versatile.

I'll be making a few more of these for the shop.

Today's WIP

A "fancy" neck-tie inspired by an image in a Godey's magazine from 1865 (as seen above). This just my first prototype of the design, but I think it's turning out rather nice.

I dunno, would anyone still be interested in more historically inspired neck-wear?

I'll post more pictures once I'm finished :)
