Thank you so much Brooklinen for sponsoring this video!

In this video, I talk about female physician doctors, in particular Elizabeth Blackwell and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. I also then plan, draw, and sew together a Victorian jacket to wear on top of a bustle.

Jacket pattern modified from one from agelesspatterns.com
Fabric from https://www.barringtonfabrics.com/
