One of the first projects that the two summer interns were given was to make a summer accessory that the Milliner would have sold in her shop. I am pleased to report that The Margaret Hunter Millinery Shop now has a lovely summer cape floating around!

I’ve updated The Mended Soul so that you can see all the projects I’ve started working on during my summer internship at Colonial Williamsburg!
A note about this gown: I am so fortunate to be able to wear this amazingly beautiful gown made by the amazingly talented seamstresses from the Margaret Hunter Millinery Shop at CW.

It’s taken me a few minutes to calm down enough to see the keyboard. Currently over at The Tudor Tailor facebook page there is a folder entitled The Tudor Child and a poll that accompanies the photos. Ten minutes later I am still smiling so hard it hurts. It was an absolute honour to have interned with the Tudor Tailor and to have assisted with this momentous project. I am thankful for every moment Ninya and Jane allowed me to work alongside them.
I’m still a bit teary eyed over seeing some of the pieces I created on the potential covers of the new book.
