I finally finished my hand sewn cloak. It’s flannel lining and wool outside. The hem looks a little crooked but that’s because I’m a little crooked when I stand but I promise it’s even! Took about a week longer than I wanted so it didn’t make renfaire but now it’s all ready for next time!
Decided to try a second version of this top using the same pattern but this time I used this beautiful remnant lace and learned how to line garments!
This top had 8 feet of spaghetti straps for the ties and it really made me realize why they were not invented until after the sewing machine! Made me get good at backstitching though. I have loved slowing down and hand sewing recently. It has made me feel so regulated and chill and I can't wait to keep making projects!
