As if I don’t have enough Claire costumes from Outlander, I have one from season 3 that is unfinished, and since the beginning I wanted to put together this casual costume she wears in the first episode of season 1. Claire was a nurse in the 1940s and when World War II ended, she found […]

Costuming Jack Randall from Outlander: Accessories
It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander novels (and Outlander series on Starz), as I have made, purchased, and worn many Claire costumes and accessories. But special points to my husband for putting up with my sewing/costuming madness, and for getting talked into wearing Oulander’s main villain, Captain Black Jack Randall’s […]

Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (Additions)
Claire has so many lovely looks in season 1 of Outlander during her time in the Scottish Highlands. I like that most of the outfits worn during this time are *mostly* historically accurate mix and match pieces of 18th century clothing and accessories – from petticoats to stomachers and jackets, to cloaks and crocheted wool […]
Costuming Claire from Outlander: Season 1 (c. 1945)
It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of Outlander (books and show) and a HUGE fan of Claire’s character. So much that I’ve costumed several of her season 1 looks in 18th century Scotland, working on a couple season 2 costumes from her time in Paris, and working on pieces from her versatile season […]
Costuming Outlander Inspired “Cross Creek” Claire
It’s the duvet that keeps on giving. When my dogs attacked my prized Pottery Barn duvet cover in the dead center of it (rendering it completely useless as bed clothes), I cut the bottom lining off to use for other projects and saved the decorative top for…whatever may come up. Turns out I have super […]
Sewing 18th Century Hat Trim
As I work my way through salvaging a dog damaged duvet cover, subsequently building a small 18th century wardrobe with it, I️ had enough scrappy pieces to make hat trim. In fact, the slim scraps I used for the hat trim was part of the discarded side trim where closure buttons were sewn in to […]
Sewing 18th Century Stays
As I work my way through salvaging a dog damaged duvet cover, subsequently building a small 18th century wardrobe with it, I️ had enough scrappy pieces to make a set of 18th century stays. I just LOVE this Indienne pattern. I used to wear an underbust corset underneath the jacket of my Claire costume […]
