Hi Cate, Thanks for reminding us that h-costume is alive. And thanks for starting this conversation.
I followed along with the Burnley & Trowbridge YouTube sew alongs for the petticoat and shift and made them both all by hand. I'd done a lot of hand sewing before - and have sewn several Elizabethan and Victorian chemises and 18C petticoats and pockets before - but none completely handsewn. It was satisfying to do it but I'm not that HA. I've done them once and can move on. I saw the B&T bedgown and decided I didn't like it enough to make one but am going to make another petticoat, calf-length to wear on the street. I've finished some 19-teens and 1920s WIPs, a walking skirt and some modern tee-shirts. I've sewn three other projects to the muslin point but I need help in fitting; as hard as I try I can't fit myself. I'm going to see a friend next week and hope to have her tweak the muslins for me so I can make them up- not something you can do social distancing or on face-time. I've also rediscovered embroidery and blackwork. I used to do both years ago and it's been fun to relearn and make pretty things again. Keep sewing; I know it helps keep me sane.
