That one time I made this #Edwardian blouse by sewing together pieces of embroidered cotton batiste by hand with 2-3mm seam allowances or felled seams when I wanted the pattern to meet very nicely. Straight seams by machine and all finishing by hand, if I recall! It took a long time but was very satisfying.

I sewed it pretty much by hand because it was quite unwieldy due to its size. There's a sinamay hat base I steamed into a new shape under all the velvet, which I just draped on and pleated down into pleasant little patterns. The flat crin tubing is simulating feathers and moves in a dainty way when walking, it's nice.

They didn't have zigzag back then, but I wanted it to be able to withstand the laundry machine a bit better, and nobody could ever really make it out at a distance. The little pintucks already took long enough and I didn't feel like more hand felling!

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla'' • • •@valhalla Indeed! "I could do this by machine and it would be fine. But I can also spend hours doing it by hand just to show off, and that's the true Edwardian way isn't it" 😄
Also the hat that is wider than my shoulders, I felt it was very accurate.
