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)
