A Small Scarf

I finished my 1856 Princess Royal scarf, and it's a cute little thing. I don't think it would be much use with just a shawl, but it will be a nice filler at the neckline if I ever get around to making some kind of paletot or other coat for the mid-19th century.





At something of a loss for a next project since I don't have any events or anything coming up and I'm ready to be sewing again rather than knitting so much, I started taking apart a green-striped 1770's dress that I've not been quite happy with the fit of. I'm not usually much of one for redoing things, but I love this fabric. It's going to be reincarnated as the same dress but with the benefit of all I've learned about 18th century costuming in the last four or five years.
