Mistress Muriel used to hand sew whilst in the car, she found it easier to
do than reading a book (which I understand since I get car sick easily). I
know at Candlemas one of the garments had considerable hand sewing in it.
I think if you are doing a serious piece of costume it is better to handsew
it. For one thing... hands are more agile than a sewing machine.
I just purchased a book on handsewing which is really interesting and I
haven't done it yet. Some reenactment groups require your clothing to be
accurate and that includes handsewing as well.
Not that I will do it (LOL)
