No More Rolled Hems, Please

[atherleisure]

I like rolled hems. They look nice and tidy and are very unobtrusive. But after almost six weeks of working on my early seventeenth century clothes, I'm sick of them. There are an awful lot of rolled hems in this stuff, rolled hems in white linen. I finished the last of them tonight, and at least they were straight grain strips. Now I need darts and bands, and the cuffs will be finished. Then I just need a smock to finish everything. I could get away with my late 18th century shift, but I would like to have a long-sleeved smock. It will be machine-sewn, though. I've run out of time to hand-sew one, and frankly, I'm not too concerned about body linens that no one sees.

Then on to the next thing, assuming I have time to sew now that I have something slated for practically every weekend between now and the end of the year...
