A&S Century Challenge - Embroidery and Trim Sewing

Today I sewed down another edge on one of the ribbons that will decorate the sleeve of my next chemise. I also found a mostly embroidered chemise sleeve, and did a little bit of work on that.
I hope to get time later on to do some illumination. My energy is very slowly starting to return as the pleurisy improves.

Embroidered Chemise Band - A&S Challenge

I got a little bit of embroidery done today. This will be a simple gathering band for a chemise. It is done in double running stitch (Holbein stitch) in DMC floss. The loose running stitch is a temporary marker to indicate a fold line.
