I think I would like to take up lingerie making, especially bras and lovely lacy slips/camisoles full of french handsewing techniques and fine swiss batiste and lovely insertion laces. And silk ribbons. And delicate silk embroidery, too. Maybe some hand made whitework. Crocheted or hand knitted lace, perhaps, as edgings. Done in a fine linen lacemaker's thread.

That does sound lovely!!! I can recall a time when it was a big deal to sew undies -- the fabrics, needles and threads had just emerged on the market -- and make 70's Peter Mack-fabric patterned undies was what we did.. lol.

However, given my druthers? If I had the time, I'd love to devise a better "bralette" device for women's clothing than what currently exists; and with straps that never slip off the shoulders...

Straps that never slip would be a wonder...but there is a device sold that is a strap that goes across your shoulderblades to hold them in place. I saw it and wondered, why in the whatever did I never think of that?
