Oops

I would have finished the cuffs on my c. 1790 striped dress last night, but after I finished pressing and starching the rolled hems, I realized I had hemmed them both to the same side. It is not that easy to undo a pressed and starched rolled hem and press it flat so that you can roll it to the other side! Ah, well, at least I was able to get it rehemmed so I think I can still finish them tomorrow. Then there’s just a bit of lace above them, and the dress will be finished. I’ve still got the fichu to make, but first I’ve been planning new stays.

I am so excited that I have my sewing things back.
