I have been really good about sewing from the stash for the last year, and I want to continue to be good about it. However, I succumbed to temptation and bought materials to make a c. 1805 Regency dress with lots of embroidery. I'm going to use the ramie voile from Burnley and Trowbridge and Appleton crewel wools. I bought one hank of each color because I had no real way to estimate what I would need. I'll do what I can with what I've got, and when I start running out, I should have a basis for how much more I need to order.
I also bought a bunch of embroidery thread (standard DMC cotton) and a big piece of Aida for my next cross-stitching project. And![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nuranar bought a bunch of silk embroidery thread on my account at an estate sale. In my year in review, I neglected to mention that I bought some clearance silk embroidery threads in Williamsburg. It seems that I have embroidery in my future.
Speaking of the future, I finished the 1908 eyelet dress on Thursday and started a pair of the Bernhardt stays yesterday. I am planning to do a few days of knitting on the Eleonora stockings between each project (three pattern repeats last night!), but once the stays are finished, I'm going to start this Regency dress.
