I'm Melanie and I love sewing and writing, mostly. I have a degree in history, my favorite eras are the late 18th/early 19th century (French Revolution/Napoleonic era). I like sewing clothes from those eras, and also have a special love for 1960s Carnaby/mod fashions. :) I'm working on a masters in library and information studies.

I've been cartoon dolling for quite a few years, since 2003. I haven't been doing it much lately though... Sometimes I go by 'Tabbycat'. I don't have a website anymore, so you can link here instead. If you want anything that I used to have on my website, message about it.
I saw someone else with a picture sewing wishlist and would like to have one too. :) Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures right now... And, I just finished taking a fashion history class, which added still more to my mental list. XD Still, here are some things I would like to make, in vaguely order of importance:

  • Black steampunk dress

  • Blue gingham Betty Wales dress [link]

  • 1910s middy blouse [link]

  • White regency gown in voile

  • Red jacket with a white petticoat (Sans culotte style) (like the woman in the white jacket [link])

  • WWI era military themed womens driving suit in tan (I like the suits from WWI era, but everyone seems to think they are ugly... [link])

  • 18th/19th century men's riding breeches (crossdressing XD)

  • Late 1960s purple suede dress [link]

  • Pale blue regency riding habit

  • Yellow or blue striped robe a l'anglaise

  • Red 18th century riding habit

  • Chemise a la reine

  • a fichu

  • 1918 black satin party dress with a Zouave hemline


Unfortunately, I seem to find that anything that goes on this list does not get made. :(

Hige sceal že heardra, heorte že cenre,
mod sceal že mare, že ure męgen lytlaš.
Will shall be the sterner, heart the bolder,
spirit the greater as our strength lessens.
