      Nice little project, and a great scrap buster. I especially liked seeing your cyclas make a reappearance with period appropriate headgear.
      I do like genmaicha, and have some in my pantry, but right now I'm drinking rooibos as usual.

    Ooooo, for some reason, that is one of the details that moves me right back in time.
    I wonder if any of those filets had ruffles that were cartridge pleated? Some of the images have that super regular look to them...

      @@OpusElenae I wonder if it was one of those things where individuals over time and in different locations came up with a multitude of variations that included, well, just about anything. After all, there's always a little element of both wanting to fit in while at the same time wanting to stand out just enough.

    Genmaicha is one of my hubby's fave teas. "Like the hands of the Von Trapp Family Singers" This comparison made my day. I now have Doe a Deer going through my brain. This is such a sweet head adornment. You do, indeed, look like a very fancy pastry took light upon your head. Thanks for the lovely video. Take care.

    It turned out beautifully! I would love to see your take on best washing and care practices for your historic clothing. I saw Abby cox made a video on how modern practices are stupid and I was curious on your thoughts. Much love from Florida. 🌴 🐊🍊

    • @OpusElenae
      @OpusElenae  Рік тому +1

      I’ll have to think about my own practices vs best practices. I tend to take a dim view of any broadly sweeping statement like “modern wash practices are dumb” because I feel like those statements can be a list and classist if we’re not really careful about our generalizations. Maybe I SHOULD make a video…

    What type of linen are using? I've only ever had luck pulling thread for cutting with high quality long staple Irish linen. Trying to pull threads on big box fabric store linen always breaks on me.

      Midweight linen from fabrics-store. The threads do break, but for small projects like this, it's not too bad.

      They beat me to it! You could also use hardanger cloth (another counted embroidery ground) or canvas. I like Aida because it stays a bit breathable.
