Honestly, a year ago, I would have said the same thing! I have found that as my hand-sewing technique has gotten better, my sewing speed has increased. I think that is a big reason why I don't mind it as much.
"And it ended up going a little bit quicker than I thought..."....said me....NEVER : ) I am handsewing an 18th century linen petticoat and a gorgeous linen striped apron now. Learned and did a new thing for the first time ever: stroked gathers. Yay us : )
I'm not sure I understand your question completely. Fabrics were hand-woven, and hand embroidered. If a man wanted a waistcoat, for example, he would order it from an embroidery shop. They would do all the embroidery work, and then he would take it to a tailor to be made. Beautifully embroidered fabrics were cost prohibitive, and they would have only been worn by the richest of the society.
Very pretty 😀
I'd go absolutely crazy if i ever have to hand sew something completely by hand! It looks gorgeous! Cant wait to see the finished gown!
