After purchasing a beautiful book from Michael's showing how to embroider like women did in the 18th century, I was awed and.... overwhelmed. I put it on a shelf only to be pulled down now and again to leaf through and admire the tight small stitches in an innumerable amount. Full men's dress coats, long women's bed gowns; covered from seam to seam in ornate stitches.
Well, I finally decided to try some out, and just to be sure I wouldn't freak out too much, I started only with the corner of a handkerchief. It wasn't so hard, only time consuming.
