I'm making the much simpler, jankier and "we've got Edwardian blouses at home" version of this shirtwaist from the MET... More inspired than actually following along, but what's relevant here is that it has that front ruffle bit, and I've just determined I might want to hem the linen strip by hand, actually. And I can't really tell myself not to!
-
@sinituulia ruffle!
hand hemmed ruffle, even!
(when I'll have finished the current honeycombed shirt I have plans to make one with a good ruffle in the front, too)
(fully handsewn, because I need an handsewing project more than I need another shirt)
-
@valhalla Needing a hand-sewing project more than needing another shirt is very relatable.
I'm almost full up on shirts I can have and will still wear! Thankfully my coverage of every shape and style of underthing is still slightly sparse...I've hemmed almost half of the ruffle, already. How I've managed that, while also doing laundry and taking breaks, I do not know.

@sinituulia luckily I'm still at the stage when I could use a couple more shirts, but I don't need them urgently, so I can take my time to do them completely by hand
and I also still have quite a bit of shirt material in my stash, because a few years ago I may have bought a bit too much. just a bit.
and then I can find something else I can handsew, I guess :D
