I DIY'd a Sewing Pattern Using an Antique Victorian Bodice Using Historic Techniques (fail?)

Have you ever bitten off more than you could chew? Decided to make what should be an "easy" project more difficult because...well...because? I did. 😂 Today, I attempt to pull a sewing pattern from one of my original Victorian/Edwardian bodices, using two different methods, one of which is taken from an 1890s dressmaking manual. It wasn't easy, but I do think mixing the methods with some good ol' fashioned measuring and plotting on graph paper will result in a workable sewing pattern in the future. I'm planning on sewing both of these patterns up into quick mock-ups to see how the patterns compare to the original Victorian bodice, probably in the next month or so - so stay tuned! 🥳Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbyelyn Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abbycox 📚Articles: How to Cut, Finish, and Finish a Dress by Madame Löfvall: https://archive.org/details/howtocutfitfinis00lf/page/15/mode/2up Duplicate Your Existing Clothes via Instructables: https://www.instructables.com/id/Duplicate-your-existing-clothes/ 🧰Tools & Materials I Used in the Video: Marking Paper: https://www.wawak.com/Cutting-Measuring/Patterns-Supplies/dotted-marking-paper-500/?sku=MSC42 Glass head Clover Pins via Wawak: https://www.wawak.com/Cutting-Measuring/Pins/clover-glass-head-pins-1-38-100pack-blue-yellow/?sku=PI1016 Rulers/Curves: https://shop.stitchbuzz.com/collections/all Via Amazon: https://amzn.to/3g5y3lk 📸My Video Kit: Sony ZV-1: https://amzn.to/2FvY4hh Canon M50: http
