replace the cords and
Unfortunately I'm still settling in after moving into my own place and getting
things set up - not to mention having little spare time. I do have some
unfinished projects I really should work on: a hand sewn kilt that just needs
the lining; a français that needs things stitched down, sleeves
I am working on two regency corded stays, they're so pretty! The
cording is going in much more easily than I had feared. Then I need
to make a Regency balldress for a friend. i keep getting lost on
Pinterest looking for inspiration.

I forgot about the post-apocalypse! (grin) Seriously, though, I should put
needles, thread and scissors into my earthquake emergency kit. Oooh, and

size of the pattern bits,the cloth gets woven...
And yes I'm ready for the lack of electricity-treadles all up and running.

I just finished a 1800s blouse and need a new project. I've been looking

Oh, I know they don't HAVE to document it--just wish they would. And some of
the images I've seen are obscure enough that there is no source, alas!
And the Google image search isn't foolproof. Tried to find a period portrait of
a guy sitting in an armchair with a big red rolled arm, and got
