I appreciate what I can get away with using a sewing machine.
When I do do hand sewing, I appreciate even more the tailors and seamstresses of that time in the many hours it took them to make clothing. It was the upper classes of society that were able to afford such finery.
A few examples of my work....A lot of it done by hand as well.
Based on the Nicholas Hilliard work in 1575 of Queen Elizabeth I
