Entering the Foundations Revealed competition has been a dream of mine for a while, this year I was finally able to achieve it! Here’s my journey of making my wide skirted swing coat based on the character of Death from The Sandman comics.

I didn’t do Nerdvember last year because I got self conscious. Then this year happened and I’m looking to the little things in my life to bring me joy, like putting together a cool nerdy outfit. Bring on Nerdvember 2020!

The Sartorial Geek Fashion Fix Challenge is always fun. The people on the hashtag are great and I inevitably discover a new exciting way to style clothing that I can incorporate into my own style. This time I had a lot of fun styling looks in a slightly more low-key way. I tried to pick one piece (even just a tiny piece!) that would fit with the theme and the rest of my outfit was reasonably plain. It felt great! I love wearing geeky things!

Recently American Duchess released a gorgeous 1910’s cape pattern. It’s a lovely wrap front semi-structured cape. I’ve loved seeing all the different versions on the #ADCapeCult Instagram tag, and knew I had to make one of my own!

After I first saw the Solo movie the thing I wanted to talk about most was that Lando had an entire closet just for capes on the Millennium Falcon! Since then it has been a dream of mine to amass a collection of capes that Lando would be proud of.
