For the center back seam, I wanted to try an insertion lace stitch. I used a sewing silk which was clearly too light for this application, but it was fun to try something new.

Girl's Coif
I made a coif for my daughter to go with the red dress. It's based on the pattern for the Mary Feilding cap in The Tudor Child. It is sized for a child aged 6. My daughter just turned 4 and has always had a small head, but the cap is small on her. I don't have time to make another, and she likely won't wear a hat of any kind for any amount of time anyway.
