Making slow progress

[mala_14]

My broderie anglaise collar is now half embroidered. A little bit every day is definitely the way to go.

My Italian Ren/Borgias dress is underway. I patterned the bodice and sleeve base using my bodice block. I have the underbodice cut out and boned. And I put handsewn eyelets for some lacing panels. I would have done metal grommets, but didn't have any on hand that I could use. So it was 18 eyelets by hand, which is probably why progress has been slow. But slow progress is better than no progress!

The hand sewn eyelets will look lovely.

They look pretty good, but they're on interior lacing panels so they won't actually be seen. They're all done though, so that's good!

I'm looking forward to seeing that collar! Broderie anglaise is so pretty.

Thank you! I picked a very simple design and my stitches are a little wonky, but the overall effect is good. I should take pictures and share!
