The Almost Stays | Alirien Builds Sybil Rochester [2]
This was filmed over a month and a half in 2022 as I sewed the first attempt at Sybil's pair of bodies. Various issues, both with the stays and other people's comments, led to the scrapping of this version. Stay tuned next Thursday for this year's vlog where I try again!

I Made the Hoop Skirt! | Alirien Builds Sybil Rochester [4]
Part 4 of Sybil's garb is the Spanish farthingale, the predecessor to paniers and hoop skirts. This was my first time completing one, and while it needs a size adjustment at the waist, I'm very pleased with it- and Sybil loves it! She adores the fabric, and we're both excited for the next piece, which is the bum roll.

A First Harvest Pie | Alirien Crafts Apple Pie for Lughnasadh

I used the Basic Apple Pie recipe from Rosanna Pansino's Nerdy Nummies cookbook. Here are the 2 videos of hers I referenced at the beginning:

Irish Potato Pancakes! | Alirien Crafts Boxty for Imbolc
For Imbolc, also called Brigid's Day or Candlemas, we made boxty, which is a traditional Irish pancake recipe using potatoes. We made our version loaded potato style with sour cream, cheese, and bacon! See below for the link to the recipe we used for the proportions, though you can also search "boxty recipe" online and find hundreds of results.
