There are some fairly &#8216;popular&#8217; patterns classified as steampunk, and I thought this looked a good start (but bought at least 3 patterns at the time!  You can never have too many patterns can you?).  I dusted off the sewing machine, dug out the pins and scissors, and cleared some space on the dining room table to cut out and sew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I basically just followed the instructions in the pattern, step by step, re-reading each instruction carefully.  Not really knowing what a front \/ back cascade was going to look like there was probably a little cursing!  I learnt a lot making this skirt&#8230;  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took me a long time (I think about 15 hours) and when I look back at it closely now, it isn&#8217;t as neat as I would like, but I still love it, love the colour, and wear it for the village &#8216;Dickensian Day&#8217; too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, I didn&#8217;t have the appropriate &#8216;undergarments&#8217;, so my bum doesn&#8217;t really look big enough LOL. Although I had made the bustle pad. Shortly after this I made a basic underskirt with frills on the back to pad it out and support the skirt better.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have since made the bolero jacket (3 times), which you will see later, and a mini version for my daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190508_091802-e1557319729418-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"25\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/20190508_091802\/\" class=\"wp-image-25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190508_091802-e1557319729418-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190508_091802-e1557319729418-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/20190508_091802-e1557319729418-768x1365.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplicity-first-skirt.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"23\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/simplicity-first-skirt\/\" class=\"wp-image-23\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplicity-first-skirt.jpg 540w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplicity-first-skirt-169x300.jpg 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplicity-first-skirt2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"24\" data-link=\"http:\/\/kariscraft.space\/simplicity-first-skirt2\/\" class=\"wp-image-24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplicity-first-skirt2.jpg 450w, https:\/\/kariscraft.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/simplicity-first-skirt2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So after getting some serious bustle envy at my first steampunk outing, I was determined to have something for the next event!
