Reworking the Plans

I got sick this weekend, so the chemise is postponed until next week. I'm also trying to decide how to face the neck slit. I'm thinking a strip of linen with selvedge on one edge, mitered at the bottom of the V, will do. When I sew, it's for strength and durability. Pretty is a secondary consideration.

On the other hand, I have decided what to do about my hair. I am going to crochet a rectangular snood using the world's smallest crochet hook, then thread the tablet weaving through the edges and make it all work. I'm using buff colored cotton crochet thread and I will definitely post pictures when I'm through. I'd post pictures of the completed petticoat, but I can't figure out the timer function on my camera and my desk chair just doesn't make an ideal dress dummy. So there's my excuses.
