Handsewn Hikes The Cap and Morgan Lake

Welcome to the fourth video of my Handsewn Hikes series!
Two of my favorite things are nature and sewing, and I thought combining the two was a perfect way to share both parts of my life.
The project I'm working on in this video is an 18th Century cap for the 1730s Merchant Class ensemble I've been creating. I followed the pattern and tutorial for the 1740s Cap out of the ‪@AmericanDuchess1‬ Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking (link below). I used the same ‪@BurnleyandTrowbridge‬ lightweight linen that I used for the fichu.
~~~Handsewn Hikes Background~~~
I grew up the daughter of a wildlife biologist in Eastern Oregon, and most of my time as a child was spent in the outdoors while my dad conducted his research. As a result, I developed a love of nature and a great appreciation of the stunning beauty surrounding us. I really enjoy hiking, kayaking, and just being out side, especially in the summer. I find that if I am really stressed, a quick drive up a mountain to sit and look at our gorgeous valley helps me relax.
One of the skills my mother instilled in both my sister and me is sewing. I can remember sitting on her lap “sewing” while she ran the foot pedal at a very young age. It is a skill I worked hard at in 4-H through my youth, and then I picked it up again when my kids were born.
Since diving into the rabbit hole that is historical costuming, I have been hand sewing more frequently. I believe that the only way I am going to get better and quicker at hand sewing is to keep doing it.
My plan is to hike/travel to different locations around our valley and film different sewing projects at each place. I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me, and you find "my little world" as beautiful and diverse as I do.
