Dreamt of porpoises

Yesterday I finished cutting voile panels, sewed each tier together,
gathered the first tier, used a new-to-me technique called “stroking the
gathers” to even them all out, sewed them to the yoke, and flat-felled the
seam to cover the raw edge. I’m reasonably pleased with the results. For
the bottom tier I’m going to gather on a string instead of on basting
stitches, or baste in smaller sections, because drawing up threads for each
section took ages on the first tier.

I carded and spun some more of the TunisX to give my posture a break.

Dinner, crossword, and more historical costuming blogs.
