I let myself work on whatever the heck I felt like today, which resulted in working on both 1860s and 18thc, and not really getting a whole lot of either done. I did hem up a striped linen kerchief I found in the accessories box while I was perusing my peasant options last night; I really thought I went through a while back and hemmed the couple kerchiefs I'd been sneakily wearing for years unhemmed. Apparently missed that one.

Also made up most of a cap from one of my Country Wives patterns from some fairly coarse linen...I want to try out a couple variations from their patterns (I've been buying them somewhat compulsively for years and I think have now acquired all the ones I want. I think they're nice patterns!) for Peasanty Unfashionable Caps options. It's so much less work than a fancy cap that I don't at all making more than one to see which I like best! (Stitches that would fill me with horror on a fine linen or silk cap can't even be seen on this weave of linen; I can hem so much faster! It's great. Feels very naughty.) Plus I bet I can unload any I decide not to keep on the unsuspecting Local Suspects. xD
