Projects

I thought that it would,be nice to have a page with links for my different projects. My tutorials are easy to find through the tutorial page, but the other post I make easily end up lost in the crowd.

  1. Your work is astonishing! You’ve inspired me to work on my hand sewing. Gorgeous stuff.

  2. “Resting hands are a waste of time…” Your work proves the value of busy hands… And your busy hands reveal the inner-workings of a creative and an industrious mind. I shared your work with others on Facebook and will share it with my 10 year old son. I hope you continue your work and I pray that your work rewards you with enough income to be happy. You deserve it.

  4. Your hand work is so lovely. You have inspired me to take the time to improve my skills. Have you made any you tube videos? It would be informative to watch you making button and lacing holes. I loved the gold gown with rolled gathers. Visiting your site makes me very happy!

  5. It is wonderful to see you help keep historical sewing alive! It would be such a shame to loose that knowledge. Your beautiful work helps to pass it on to others for many decades. Their present day rarity make them a treasure now and in the future. Thank you so much for sharing.

  6. I am trying to track down some information on a cap (at least I think it’s a cap), and I thought you might know.

    I have seen on several effigies what appears to be a ruffle-edged cap of some sort being worn under the frilled or fretwork veil. (This is probably the clearest picture I’ve seen: https://dehuntington.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/avena-foljambe.jpg?w=706) All the ones I’ve seen are the same: fairly straight across the forehead, close-fitting down the sides of the face, then curving back around the jaw. The close fit makes me think it’s some sort of little cap, but maybe it’s a small veil?

  8. Hello! I just came across your tutorial on making smocked curtains- I want to try making some valances, but wondered how you know how wide to start with to finish with the right width of the window?? THanks for your insights! Annette
