Celtic Embroidered Civil War Chemise

I've been inspired by Irish immigrants during the Civil War and thought it would be cool to incorporate a bit of a Celtic feel into my Civil War clothes. I started with the chemise by designing an embroidery pattern inspired by some Celtic designs.

The yoke front and back are embroidered with creamy embroidery thread:

I embroidered my first initial on the inside of the yoke back:

I used these shell buttons from Craftitis:
The chemise is entirely hand sewn, made from 100% cotton muslin.

I'm not sure if I'll do everything Celtic inspired...but I have fun playing around with different ideas! :)

Another Regency Blouse

I just finished another Regency Blouse from the Sense and Sensibility pattern for a lovely customer. :)
Grossgrain ribbon accents the waistline:

Pretty gathered up sleeves with tiny bows and a little pearly bead:

And cute little detailed blue buttons do up the back:

I had fun making it. :)
