Finished Items

[atherleisure]

I just got back from a week-long business trip. I took plenty of projects to work on in the evenings and over the weekend.

I finished the 1896 bag for bathing dress etc.


I finished the March bookmark I started when we were visiting my in-laws at the holidays. I started the April one but only made it as far as the border.


I made a lot of progress on my 1880's cotton stocking. I gave myself a 10-row per day quota to meet and did so nearly every day. Some days I did more than 10 rows. I now only have 25 rows until I get to start the decreases.

I made good progress on the cross-stitch that's for a gift. The top half is finished, but there are a lot more stitches in the bottom half than the top half so I'm really only about a third of the way finished.

I started another knit 1930's bathing suit. I am working on the first part of the shorts for the front.

I just really enjoy needlework.

What a fantastic bag and pretty bookmark!

Thank you. Trust the Victorians to think you need tassels on a bag when you go swimming.

The tassels add a lot of fun to it

Honestly, shame on the modern aesthetic for NOT needing tassels on a bag when you go swimming.

I really do need to get back to making random Victorian stuff. So much of it is just fun.
