Last Halloween, I invited a few friends of mine to my cottage, built in the Victorian era and located in the woods with other abandoned cottages, for a haunted weekend.
Keeping with the Victorian penny dreadful theme, I was costumed as Sweeney Todd, with a handmade tailcoat. But even more impressive was my friend Emily, who invented an entire character and made a whole outfit to go with it. Emily’ costume consisted of a pair of cotton floral print fabric spats, a penny-farthing brass necklace (a penny farthing is an early bicycle, with one large wheel and one small), watch-piece earrings, a brass-colored ray gun made from a plastic water gun, and leather goggles suitable for Amelia Earheart.
All of which she made by hand. Goggles are the quintessential accessory for a Steampunk outfit.

Steampunk fashion - Steampunk DIY Pocket Belt. My latest DIY project is making a steampunk pocket belt from an old pair of cargo pants.
A while ago I made this steampunk belt from an old pair of shorts. I wanted something nice to wear over my longer more formal dresses that I could hang gadgets off and put passes and money inside. Portable pockets, if you will. I also wanted it to be relatively easy to make. Here is an example of what it looks like on an outfit. Well a dear friend of mine noticed the belt and when a favorite pair of cargo pants lost a battle with a leaky pen, she brought them to me to make over into a similar belt. The original pants, front and back. Using pinking sheers (just to be on the safe side) I cut the pants off above the knee, merely to eliminate excess material. Still using the pinks, I then cut around the pockets I wanted to keep, leaving exiting seams (if possible) and at least a half inch allowance (if possible). I feel asymmetrical looks better (and less like the belt started life as cargo shorts). Steampunk fashion - Ladies Spats: A HOW TO!
Salutations!
I wanted to share with you a project I recently completely and a quick HOW TO. For the longest time I have wanted a pair of white knee hi woman’s Victorian spats but sadly could not find the right kind anywhere. So after looking a numerous pictures online and failing to find an online HOW TO I decided to make my own. They were such a piece of cake to make that I felt it only necessary to share my creation with others so they can do the same.
Please note; I am not a professional seamstress but I do have a fairly good grasp on sewing and construction. Also, I encourage people to do as they wish, be creative and have as much fun as I had making them.
