Field Test
The dress weathered its first event well. There's another picture here. I've been informed that I need to make her another kirtle in addition to the other gowns I had planned to make. I should also make a few more smocks. A friend of mine was interested in having me put together one for her as well. Plus there are a few other projects that people would like me to take on. It looks like I'll have a lot to do, which means that I'm going to have to bite the bullet and break out the sewing machine again. I'll still do all the finishing work by hand, but I just can't make everything I need to make fast enough without cheating some. I'm going to keep myself pure for my own clothes, however. If nothing else, hand sewing makes it much easier to avoid screw-ups while working out a new pattern. It keeps my sewing from outpacing my thinking, which is a good thing.
