Today I sewed Jessica's bonnet til it started making me mad (it's at the stage where there are pins sticking out of it every which way; too many pin-stabs and I get cranky), whereupon I dug through the stash in search of suitable linen for Katherine Parr's smock. Got to start somewhere, right?

It actually turned out to be several pieces of suitable linens...I have a bunch of small-ish pieces in the stash that are leftovers from other projects, and I'm going to piece them together for the smock - something I wouldn't want to do for something that will actually be seen. This is a smock, who cares. Piecing is period! I don't know if the Queen would have had her smocks pieced...but this time she's going to. ;) I'm feeling very stingy with my white linen, as my stash of it is dwindling. So a pieced smock it is!

I can't wait to see it, thank you so much for doing this. How much do I owe you?
