To Cassandra, from Rowling, "We are very busy making Edward's shirts, and I am proud to say that I am the neatest worker of the party." - Jane Austen, Thursday 1 September 1796
I seems that Jane Austen enjoyed sewing and she was good at it. She mentioned sewing a great deal throughout her letters and in her books. This is a quilt Jane, Cassandra and their mother made. It is on display at the Jane Austen's House Museum.
And this is a needlecase Jane made for one of her nieces and a link to the Jane Austen Centre in Bath that has instructions on how to make one.
Enjoy your day!
I am very affectionately yours,
Terrie
