frualeydisto say that yesterday I finished my cute 19th century shift with inserted lace and all. All hand sewn, because I felt like it. And since I'm aiming for the 1840s-1850s machine sewing isn't period. And anyway, underwear were hand sewn at home into the 20th century. But mostly I did it because I felt like it, I mean I have machine seams on my medieval garb, so I'm not a hand sewing purist. I also unpicked seams on my corset and decided that I'm not going to have the extra boning in front that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenthompson has, because I like the corset to be less rigid there so it can curve in at the waist. So now I need to sew the basque on again in front, where I have cut some away and add boning channels on the left half of the corset and then bind the edges. Hopefully this should get done tomorrow. Today I was social with Anna, so I didn't do any machine sewing but started hemming my royal blue silk chiffon veil that I plan to wear with my 12th century (and earlier) clothing. She was busy making a pattern for the 18th century riding jacket in PoF that she's going to make to use as a mundane jacket (with some alterations, since she's not going to take up wearing a corset every day). I also sorted the fabric in my big white cupboard and found some nice medium blue thin cotton jacquard I'm going to use for a new blouse.
