frualeydisI am getting so much better at making buttonholes! The button holes on the red cotte and the blue hood were good, but they were on wool garments (a very thin wool in the red cotte, but still) and now I'm actually making buttonholes in very thin cotton. I have made four this far. Now it's only 9 button holes, hemming and sewing the buttons left before my very first victorian garment, a blouse is finished.

I still don't have enough yarn for my pink underbodice, but i might be able to finish at least the back this weekend! I have been thinking of starting out on some drawers. might try to get to that this weekend.

No visible machine stitching since blouses and shirts were made by hand long after the sewing machine was invented, but the inside doesn't look as neat as it "should". I'm thinking about felling the seams later. Drawers are my next project too, because I can make them without having a corset. I bought ten metres of thin offwhite cotton fabric that will be used for drawers chemise, lining etc for this project.
