Antique/New collar in the making

IMGP1773
This collar is being made out tennerife lace that was made on a Palma hand loom over 100 years ago.  The thread is from the same time as is the linen battenberg tapes.  this will be an adult size collar when done.  I am using fagoting stitches to hold everything together.  I will probably line it with netting when done just to give it some added strength.

I hope to make some shirts/blouses for myself in the future with heirloom sewing techniques employee just have to find a good pattern for a blouse that looks circa 1900-1920.  If you know of one please recommend it to me in the comments with a link thanks.

Now that I have my little brothers stuff done I am back on track for tutorials.  One will be posted tomorrow I made it today but still have to go through the photos and type it all in.
