frualeydisI ran out of thin linen thread with only one side seam (from wrist to hem) and hemming left to do on Vendela's shift. So I shortened Vendela's three pairs of jeans.
I have also cut (OK, partly ripped) the top fabric (black/spring green shot silk) and the lining (black cotton) for the visible petticoat for my 18th century outfit. I'm debating with myself whether I should make the outfit entirely by hand, but I probably won't; I should take care of my wrists.

as i think i might be able to get an outfit ready for sunday. this time without cheating and machines. i realised i don't enjoy sewing machines, it takes all the joy out of sewing.
although i sincerely advise you to take care of your wrists!
i force my self to take care and not do more than an hour or so of hand sewing at a time, because that would certainly ruin my left wrist. i still hurt after my embroidery race three years ago...
