More linen and lace

Hi Everyone ,
Yes I've been sewing again and working through my stash of linens and lace and making some quite nice items of clothing .
I have quite a large stash of laces {some in my life say too much}in order to get in to my sewing room and be able to sew without stepping over boxes of stuff I must use these things or sell them {bit of both}.
However the Estate that the last lot of lace came from is on again and I will have to make room for more to come in and wash and save many more pieces. such is life! So without further ado  here's some photos .
Lacy sleeveless vest

Full lace panel at back


Linen jacket

Pretty pocket
