Happy Halloween! This month has been mostly all finishing summer WIPs and emergency repairs on my CLT outfit, but I did manage to work in some other much-needed wardrobe maintenance.

| Nicely darned, if I don't say so myself. |
The one I'm most pleased with is the small hole I darned near the cuff of my red stockings. The garment with the most extensive mending is my early 19th century linen chemise (which keeps getting drafted for 1850s use): several of the felled seams frayed out in small areas, requiring re-stitching, and either whip-stitching to secure the narrow raw edges or else binding with linen tape.
