muff musings
Wow, finding info on 18th century muffs is harder than I would have thought. So far the only silk ones I've found are from Williamsburg and Costume in Detail (check out Nehelenia's copy of that muff).
Does anyone know of other muffs online or in print? I'm looking for pictures more than print on them. Luckly they look pretty simple to constuct - I shouldn't need a pattern. I'm not sure how I want to pad it, cotton batting lined with fiberfill (warmth plus bulk) perhaps. I'd love to work some embordery on my muff as well, although it's a bit crazy to attempt it this week.
Well no one has accused me of being sane lately! :>
ETD:
Oh I just found a muff in Revolution in Fashion (pg 30). Very colorful with chenille embordery - pretty. No date on the muff but it's shown with a c1770 dress. Fun, fun!
