So, the blackworked chemise started in 2003, and last pictured here has had a bit of progress. The neckline has been finished, and sleeves hemmed. Still need to do the hem around the base and work out if I want to do the cuffs the same way I did the neck (questionable documentation wise, but then there are a bunch of things like that about this particular garment - the hazards of finishing off an early project).
Closeup of the neckline here, and some idea of the scale of the madness here. Looks good from the back here.

More progress and pictures

And the finished satchel made from the fabric woven on the warp weighted loom (main body here, and the not quite long enough for both leg bindings here).
Interior here. May line in linen or canvas at some point given how loose the main body weave is.
