This was a crazy idea. I made my husband a pair of hand crafted oxford shoes, using traditional materials and techniques, including hand-welting! Keep watching to the end to hear my take on why someone would even want to make hand crafted shoes, as well as to see the pitfalls I experienced along the way. In this video, we will see: *How I adjusted a pair of shoe lasts to fit my husband's feet *How I crafted the pattern for these shoes and stitched together the shoes' uppers. *How I lasted the shoes and crafted a hand-carved leather insole for the welting process. *How I stitched together the shoes, crafted leather soles, and stacked leather heels. Keep watching till the end to get a peek of my husband *possibly* wearing the finished hand crafted oxford shoes!

However, always do a strand test first. If you would rather avoid henna, sub it with cassia. * Amla can potentially have a darkening effect on hair, but usually only in much stronger concentrations than this recipe contains. Strand test to be sure! * Freshly ground fenugreek seeds are most effective. I have an inexpensive coffee grinder linked on my "Hair Products I Recommend" page on my Linktree. * If you are new to MSM or essential oils, use less to begin with. You can always add more later!

✂️ Regency era dresses have really grown on me over the years. With their flattering empire waists, light and flowy fabric, they are very translatable to a modern day, "elegant everyday" wardrobe. How do you feel about Regency era dresses? Think BBC Pride and Prejudice 💕 The best part? Regency era dresses seem tailor made to accommodate life seasons of pregnancy and breastfeeding. 😍 I fell in love with the extant dress from 1805 featured in Patterns of Fashion 1, with its delightful pin tucks, bias cut bodice and sleeves, not to mention built-in bust support. I drafted a version of that pattern to fit my body, and plan on making another version in a different fabric. ♥️ 💕 Subscribe to my Youtube channel for beautiful, relaxing videos on historical sewing, natural hair care, and shoe-making 💕Want to learn historical corset-making, as a beginner?

Have you ever wondered how so many historical women were able to grow such long and healthy hair? I have! That's why, after a chin-length hair cut almost 6 years ago, I incorporated many historical hair care practices into my routine. My hair is now at hip length, which is longer than it has ever been able to grow my entire life thus far. My main hair care routine that has grown my hair (in a nutshell): 1) I only use natural, mostly DIY products that are technically edible. 2) Wash only once a week with rhassoul clay 3) Weekly scalp and hair oil treatments 4) Gentle dry finger detangling 5) "Sealing" hair ends regularly with a light oil For lots more info about historical hair care and hair growth, please check out my Youtube channel which is linked in my bio ♥️ #hair #hairstyle #hairstyles #longhair #curlyhair #haircare #naturalhair #hairfashion #hairideas #healthyhair #historicalhair

I've been keeping a secret! Come along as we plan a hand made maternity wardrobe! I am in desperate need of a better fitting wardrobe for my current pregnancy, as much of my previous hand made clothing is worn out (as will be evidenced in the first 2 minutes of the video, ha!) This video will include: *My unique take, as a mother of four (soon to be five) on why I prefer hand made historical or vintage maternity clothing over modern maternity clothing. *A confession about how this pregnancy so far feels different from my last in terms of what I want to wear. (hint: it has to do with my maternity stays!) * A "tour" of my pattern stash and closet to see what is currently working for my body, what isn't, and what I may need to get cracking on making more of. * Let's go online shopping together as I buy some fabric and patterns (or draft one!) to make some maternity basics. * Showing you the exciting process of fitting a mock-up for a reproduction of a GORGEOUS Regency dress.

I have been practising historical hair care for the past 6 years, and it grew my hair to hip length! This after having a chin length hair cut and having never been able to grow very long or healthy hair my whole life (up until now!) In this video I will be explaining: *My unique hair history and how it's led me to the methods I now use *The unusual hair detangling method that has helped to retain hair length *How historical hair care drastically differs from modern hair care in its attitudes, aims, and results *How not using conventional shampoos has helped my hair to grow (and thrive) *The natural, homemade concoctions I use in my hair. Hint: I only use products in my hair that are edible *How historical hairstyles actually helped to grow long hair. Hint: it's about length retention Have you ever looked at those historical photos and paintings of women with surreally long hair, and then looked at the many thousands of people today who desperately desire long tresses, but their hair simply refuses to grow past a certain point, and wondered . . . maybe those historical women knew something we don't? I have wondered the exact same thing, which is why, when I chopped off my hair to chin length 6 years ago, it was time to drastically rethink my hair routine. Previous generations clearly knew how to grow long hair - and I was ready to figure out the secret, even if it meant throwing out everything I'd been taught about modern hair care. Be forewarned: This routine dramatically differs from all modern hair care routines, especially those typically recommended for people with curly hair like me! One final note before we jump in: throughout this video, I will refer to "hair growth" synonymously with "length retention" (ie. avoiding breakage). This is because for 99% of people, their hair is always growing, but if their hair care practices are constantly breaking their hair off at the ends, they will never see that growth. This was my own personal experience before beginning my current historical hair care routine. Keep watching to see how I changed that! Enjoy! PS. My hair was slightly damp during the filming of this video, as I allow my hair to air dry and as a busy mom have a very limited time for when I am able to film. Just wanted to put that note in here! ✍ Blog post for this video: http://bit.ly/3Txvmgd ⏰ Time Stamps ⏰ 0:00 - Intro 1:01 - Why Historical Hair Care? 1:33 - Who is This Video For? 2:19 - What's Up With Historical Women's Ultra-Long Hair? 4:29 - What this video will include 5:40 - The 4 Main Sections of this video 6:23 - My Hair History 7:34 - My Experience With the "Curly Girl" Method 13:29 - Historical Vs.

✂️ Have you, or would you, ever try dressing historically in your daily life? Let us know in the comments! Personally, I dress "historically-inspired" daily, but in a way that is practical in my lifestyle as a busy mom and (I hope) still looks natural in modern day life. Here, you see me wearing a mish-mash of different eras - Edwardian drawers, Victorian chemise and corset, and 18th century skirt and jacket! 📖 "Victorian Custom Corset-Making" Course: https://bit.ly/corsetcourse I'm Katherine, and this channel documents my journey of creating a handmade, historically inspired wardrobe.
