liadethorneggePurchases have been made, and work has started!
I bought The Fabric the other day. I have linen enough for all I need to make. A few days before leaving for Up North over July I bought the lace trim for a suit of ruffs. I have the fabric for trim, and have scouted for more contrast fabric. I have three options, one more expensive than the other, but it's a contrast so I don't need a whole lot of it. I just need some taste advice for the choice.
Today I started on the suite of ruffs. Calculating I need 6 times the collar and cuff lengths for ruffs that's a lot of hemming to do. At least it's no use doing drawn-thread hemstitch, because the hem will be covered up with the trim anyway and only make the edge weaker.
