		<description><![CDATA[Occasionally I&#8217;m asked if I make mistakes while cutting the Hardanger embroidery, and if so, if there are any mistakes which can&#8217;t be repaired. To which I reply, Oh, yes!  Fortunately the Janice Love books have many suggestions to restore almost any kind of cutting accident back to neat, and I&#8217;ve usually had great success [...]]]></description>

Taking a picture of the sleeves proved a bit difficult.  Unlike the over skirt, the embroidery stops with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The over skirt of the christening gown is the simplest to embroider, and would make a nice enough gown on its own if I weren&#8217;t able to complete any more pieces, so I worked on it first.  Total stitching time for the skirt:  about three weeks.

I began it, but a fiddly part of the center motifs slowed me down and I&#8217;ve put it aside for a while until I&#8217;m more interested [...]]]></description>
