So, I did a silly thing... I lengthened the body of my #hinterlanddress crop by two inches - because hemming, and no skirt - but then I neglected to lengthen the placket pieces .
.
.
Well, rather than cut new pieces I decided it would look super cute with kind of a peephole front.
So I folded up the bottom of the placket before sewing it on and did a teeny tiny rolled hem with the 5/8” for the edge between the placket and the hem. And Voila! .
.
Hand picked buttonholes, plackets, hems, and neck facing - there are actually as many hand sewn bits in this top as machined ones

Made with 1 1/2 pilowcases

Still have two of these little spy sleeping masks up in my shop I probably won’t be making more til closer to the Holidays & am debating if these would be a cool addition to the Coraline/Wybie set? Still have Plentyyy of time to think that one over though✨ I also added an 8x10” option to a lot of prints & am going to be restocking some old ones tonight, so just gonna drop that random information off right there

Hurrah! She’s finished! And she only took three months!
Averaging about an hour a day, and entirely handstitched - she was a labour of love, and primarily a research project. As you might have seen from previous posts, I constructed a replica of a extant bonnet, c1830. Using fashion plates of the time, and a whole lot of museum references, I’ve tried to add trim that is a nod to the style of the period.
There is a lot I’d do differently next time. But the first hat is always like the first pancake, and you live and learn.
Now I’m on the hunt for a bonnet veil from the period. Budget: £10. Don’t like my chances!

I’m sorry for everyone who was expecting an English Gown! I definitely see how that photo could be misleading now...This fabric *would* make a lovely gown though!!! Alas, this remnant was destined to be a French/Canadienne pinner apron! .

Chapter 1 of my Alexandria quilt is complete, and it's getting big and hard to photograph. This took so much time during March that I didn't work on any other projects, but today I'm pulling out my Ahoy hexie quilt to work on at a couple of high school baseball games... It's 65 and sunny and the perfect spring day! But I'll be back inside to cut out Chapter 2 on Thursday, when we're possibly going to get hit by a blizzard?!
