Back from hiatus with a new HSM challenge #1:Firsts and Lasts

Well, that was unexpected...
I didn't expect to be away for so long, but the last two years have been pretty uneven and this blog just kind of fell by the wayside. But now that I have some spare time, what better way to pick it up again than with a new challenge.


This was supposed to be the finishing touch on a previous dress, but life got in the way. As it stands, it'll be a great addition to most of the dresses I own.

Year: 1830's to 1860's
