Eyelets
I have a 13 month old little boy, so my sewing is curtailed during the day until he goes to bed. Usually, that gives me about 4 hours to get something accomplished.
I don't know if other people have this problem, but I have found a direct correlation between the hour and the quality of my sewing. Taking this into account, I have just finished 27 of the worst eyelets I have ever sewn...LOL
I am not, however, going to take them out and start over. I need this dress for the weekend, and I still have a hem to turn.
I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow.
I used Margo Anderson's tudor wardrobe pattern to make a brown linen kirtle with black velveteen bands.
I started this project many months ago and realized after I had it all together that my measurements were way off. I had to rip off the original bodice and re-size and cut a new one.
I like how this pattern went together, except there are some directions that seem out of order and it takes a bit of critical thinking to get it to work correctly. The bodice (except for the boning channels) was sewn by hand, but the skirt was done by machine (I don't have the patience for really long seams).
