Garrison Cap
My very first hat, finished to my satisfaction, is a garrison cap. Made to fit the Airship Captain Diva outfit, its look is so simple, that it goes well with lots of outfits.
I found the pattern on the internet and I struggled, to get it fit like it does now ;-)

Dead Lady Choker
This morbid choker is the ideal accessory to gothic gowns.
The Choker is sewn just like the Tango Choker but instead of the littel bow I attached a Sandra-made cameo which shows a skeleton lady and the ribbons on the back end in tiny silver keys.

Status: in my Klamottenkiste and I wear it with fancy gothic dresses :-)

Princess Bracelet
This kitschy bracelet is more of a carnival accessory than real jewellery ;-)
Rose coloured fecetted plastic pearls in silvery bead caps are bound together with transparent elastic band.

Tech Choker
This neckband with its two buttons is totally asymmetric and you can choose where it has front and back. I made it to match the Tech Skirt.

Clockwork Lace Choker
Here I also build one of Sandra’s cogwheel cameos into a choker, this time as a pendant. The velvet band is a bit thinner as the one of the Clockwork Choker and it is decorated with laceband on the edges. Above the pendant there is a little satin bow tie and the choker is closed with satin ribbons on the back.
At the end of the year I made another version of it: the Cameo Lace Choker – as a christmas present ;-)
Completed: 2011
Status: in my Klamottenkiste and is worn with specail Steampunk outfits :-)

Clockwork Choker
Here I took one of Sandra’s self-made cogwheel cameos and sewed it onto a brown velvet band and attachted black satin ribbons to close it with a bow on the back. It was a 10 minute work, where the real work was done by Sandra ;-)

Button Cuffs
The prototypes of these cuffs and leg warmers are black with buttons. The cuffs are mid-forearm-length and the gaiters go up till the knee.
With the coppery buttons these pieces are wonderful accessories for Steampunk outfits.
I used black wool of the strength 3 – 4 and needles of the strength 4. The buttons I used were sold in a very high quantity for not much money ;-)
The cuffs were so well received that I was asked to make them in different colours and lengths with or without buttons or with silvery buttons. That was how I made some very colourful copies of them and I sold a few, but kept also some brown and grey ones for myself ;-)
Completed: 2009 (Prototypes)
Status: in my Klamottenkiste and I wear them often

Pompadour Bag
A small round pompadour bag made out of coppery taffeta with black lace on it matching the Copper Dress. Only the absolutely necessary stuff fits into it and the content gives the form to the bag ;-)
If I had not used the remainders of the Dress, I would estimate the cost of material was about 14 EUR.
Completed: 2009
Was part of the exhibition Machina Nostalgica in 2013!

Tango Choker
Matching to the Tango Dress I made a lace choker. Like I did with the dress I decorated it with a little bordeaux-coloured bow.
Completed: 2009
Satus: I did wear it a few times but then sold it in 2012 together with the Tango Dress.

Cuddly TARDIS
To knit a plush TARDIS is a bit crazy, but it shows that there is a nerd somewhere inside me. Only Doctor Who-fans can appreciate this marvellous cuddly thingy, I guess.
The light on the roof is a little pompom out of white wool and I stuffed a pillow into it, because I did not have any fill-wadding left in my supplies ;-)
I knitted the TARDIS as a present from a Who-nerd to another Who-nerd.
Completed: 2008
Status: given away as a present and is cherished there :-)
