Hand sewing a shift with tiny tiny stitches

When the World

Shudder with Horror
I find it hard to focus and retreat to hand sewing

This far only minor adjustments to the sleeves are needed
and then
…

Hand sewing

Good Morning Monday

A valley of white linen

Good Morning

The experiment continues

I have finally made the 179 meter long DMC thread into a knitted string. Next step will be to make some wool buttons to cover with either fine linen or silk fabric and then embroider. Hmmm what am I making?

Yep, I knew it

You are making a hat with a hairdo

 

Unpicking

the Wiglet

This was once …

an Helene Curtis Wiglet Modacrylic Modac53

It was handed down to me from my husbands grandmother. The hair colour and  fibre thickness is a perfect match to my hair. Even thou the Wiglet has been well used and washed many times the curls still shapes nicely and the fibre hair is not brittle. The foundation net and the sewing threads that keep the fibers to the foundation has expired years ago. So it is time for renovation or even better to repurpose the Wiglet into a new shape.
