Garb Sewing Projects

I worked on two smaller sewing projects lately a smock as I desperately needed another one and an apron for doing Arts and Science projects in.

The smock above was made from the Elizabethan Smock generator online which works fairly well. I used a blend of silk and cotton for this smock and added linen lace to the neckline. It's lightweight and feels lovely against the skin. It's also pretty much see-through due to how light-weight the material is so there isn't a picture of me wearing it.

The lace I used here I purchased via etsy from Lithuania. It's gorgeous and I love the historic feel of it- perfect for the period with the beginning of lace.

My other project was a cotton apron, which I hand dyed with indigo. A little blotchy and cotton isn't period but it's perfect to protect my dress with during Arts and Science events. It started as two rectangular pieces of cloth and then was hemmed and gathered into the apron shown.

Overall not super exciting projects but satisfying anyways to get them finished.
