Hand Sewing

Hand Sewing
Thursday May 20


Hand sewing is something I love to do.
Last night I worked on Rachel's new tiered
skirt which is a nice light weight linen material.
I am hand sewing the tiers together. I like
how the gathers come out when they are done
the old fashion way.

When I go on trips with my husband
I can still work on my sewing projects. Last
weekend I went on a road trip to Hartford, Conn.
I finished all the of the tiers, but one.

I did get to go look at some historical dresses
at the art museum.
I love studying historical dresses.
So much more detail went into their garments.
It was a true inspiration.
