sewing & heraldry

Today I taught 4 people how to hand-sew a straight/running stitch, back stitch, vertical hem stitch and cross hem stitch, then used the regular & serger machine to learn how to finish an edge, make a seam, make a gather and make a corner (like for a pocket). Then I came home, heated up leftovers, did laundry and researched late 15th century heraldry for Edward IV & Richard III. This was a fun & productive day!!
