Faster Than Handsewing

Back to the library, with occasional bouts of sewing on the side...

Tuesday, August 24

More stormy night sewing

Finished off the hemming, and made a broad lace of five bows (it's a little fingerloop braided ribbon) in red perle cotton. I'd love to use silk, but that will have to wait until I do a bulk order of silk for tablet-weaving and other fibre projects.

I've cut out the chemise that will go under the Tudor kirtle, and am trying adding gussets under the arms. I've been told this gives a much more comfortable garment, so we'll see how that goes. I'm using white cotton lawn fabric.
