For my first foray into steampunk, my character is a seamstress. In this post I’m sharing how I made the thread spool bandolier, as it is the focal point of all my steampunk accessories. (1880’s, arm bracer, bandolier, belt bag, bowler hat, buttons, cameo, cosplay, costume, crafts, dickens on the strand, DIY, fan holder, gears, historical costuming, late victorian, parasol holder, petticoat, sewing blog, tailor, thread spools, tomato pin cushion, truly victorian 170, utility belt)
