A rare sewing project from me - made a regency inspired dress over the last few days! It has pockets! I got an olive green ribbon to go around the waist which gives the illusion of a higher waist, making it look a little more regency

So happy with my most recent test knit! Dear Elizabeth Tee by @greyowlknits.bsky.social, releasing today. It also fits in with the #ShowMeYourKnits theme of light and dark, and #FOFriday 💙🧶

SB stands in front of full bookshelves facing the camera and wearing a blue and grey knitted t-shirt. The top half is a solid blue, while the bottom half has blue motifs on a lighter grey background. These motifs left to right show Mr. Darcy, a bouquet of flowers, and Elizabeth Bennet. She is also wearing a gold coloured necklace shaped like a fountain pen nib with a black ink drop.

SB stands facing the camera wearing the same a knitted t-shirt and necklace, and holding an open copy of Pride and Prejudice to cover her face.
