Steampunk sewing

[blamebrampton]

The festival of knitting is in full swing, but I have a Steampunk party to cobble an outfit together for. It's in a month, and I have the perfect footwear (actually, I have two perfect sets of boots and one ideal set of shoes, I may have a small issue) and a corset and antique watch and chain ... that's it. Four weeks is enough time to pull together a decent outfit, and I have scads of fabric, so I can manage it without spending any extra cash, but I wonder if costuming is enough to give a truly steampunk approach. In short, help!

I like all of those characters! And I can definitely see different pieces in my head that would work for each. My favorite is the pamphleteer. ♥

If you need ideas for how things could look you might try here. Or you could do a little digging through steamfashion and see what other people have done recently.

Thanks! Those are great links! (Foresees hours of timewasting that should be spent sewing!)

Heh! I have a dreadful idea of the sorts of pamphlets I would produce, too ... maybe I will work on that for the local Steampunk World Faire in September ...
