First off, I completed the stitching on another ruff! This guy has been in the works since last summer, I was going along swimmingly, and then I hurt my shoulder and almost all handsewing projects got pushed aside. It was meant to be a super wide ruff, but I’m thinking that with the gentleman it is for, it might not quite do the “head on a platter” ruff that we were going for. It will be interesting to see. It will need eyelets sewn in the front for fastening, and a very good cleaning, and to be set, but it is much closer to done then it was last weekend! (I still only get about an hour or two of handsewing a day before my shoulder aches too much.)
Ruff people. I have a question. I thought I have seen in some ruffs a line of stitching (much smaller) kinda like the red dotted line I put in the second picture, mostly to stabilize the ruff part to the neckband. What do you think about that? #ruff #ruffs #16thcentury #17thcentury #17thcenturyfashion #16thcenturyfashion #handsewing
