Back to Sewing

atherleisureI got back to some sewing over the past week, and I now have most of the body of an 1800's spencer. I need to finish the collar seam and half the hem, and the body will be finished. Then there are sleeves and a belt remaining.
After the whole 1610's ensemble, I thought I was finished with hand-sewing for awhile, but it turns out I was wrong. I've hand-sewn this so far, and I doubt I'll find it worthwhile to pull out the sewing machine for the sleeves, though I'm not committing myself either way. One thing about Regency bodies - the seams are so short it's hardly worth bothering with the machine.
