--but is it possible to hand sew the garment with linen thread? Hi Susan, I'm sure it is possible for someone to hand sew the garment itself with linen thread but unfortunately I think that would be beyond my seamstress skills. Perhaps there's a place for hand sewn garments and I admire someone who can do it skillfully but in my mind, there's a reason sewing machines were developed as well as spinning wheels vice hand spindles or 8-harness looms vice back strap looms. Things can be done more efficiently and consistently. Of course as I write that it strikes me that - I. Make. Lace. Which some people think doesn't make sense either when you can go to the store and get something that is more consistent and didn't take several years to produce. So I suppose that logic isn't logical at all. :-) I guess the difference is that I don't have the desire to acquire the necessary skills for hand sewing the dress itself. Dona in Havre de Grace, MD
