18th century, 18th century fingerless mitts, finished projects, Regency linen apron, Regency petticoat
Already listed in the previous post, here are the photos.
Regency petticoat with straps – yellow flannel
Close up of waist band
My dress form is a bit larger than me under the bust; it buttons completely when I wear the petticoat.
Under the dress
Brown linen apron (fabric left over from an 18th cent petticoat)
Close up of waist band and top part stitching
Inside stitching – not a lot of time to complete so all the edges are just a rolled hem.
18th cent fingerless mitts (upcycled from wool sweater)

Catherine! You should be a teacher…oh – that is why your descriptions and pictures are so clear. I’m always amazed at your resourcefulness. I smile when I read how you used leftover material from one garment to create another. I seem to never have enough leftover to make anything significant. Love your long fingerless mitt idea. Nicely done. I’m always impressed. And Twiggy – she would be a great prop sewing by the fire (especially today > -17 right now) with cat at your feet…
She is always close at hand when I’m sewing and never fails to walk daintily (or tramp) across the fabric when it is spread out on the floor waiting to be cut. Thank you for your kind words! It is greatly appreciated. The mitts are for the sewing challenge and are “due” Jan 15!
