Random stuff happening in my life. I may write about spinning yarn, photography, history, dogs, gardening, crafting, and Photoshop.

My friend, Donna, and I just got back from a Burnley & Trowbridge 18th Century sewing workshop:
“Turn Thy Hand to Sewing”
An Introduction to 18th Century Sewing & Construction Techniques
A Hands On Workshop
Friday Afternoon Feb. 16th , Saturday Feb. 17th & Sunday Feb 18th , 2018
It was amazing. We learned all of the hand stitches for a late 18th Century petticoat and shift, including stroke pleating. Donna and I stayed up past 1 am doing our homework on Saturday night.
If you take a B&T workshop and forget anything, Jim runs a mini shop at the workshop. Also, there is a Joann Fabrics 10 minutes away.
Here is a photo of Angela Burnley fitting my sleeve. Photo by Donna.
Here is the Sunday afternoon group photo showing off all of our work.
