I showed the finished Britomart casket in episode 45: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58Bv6_71gDY

The elaborate double caskets from Thistle Threads are no longer available, but a simpler casket style, the short flat (not the same as the flat casket I used for Britomart) is available as a fully kitted class: https://thistle-threads.myshopify.com/collections/online-university
And the definitive courses on caskets and their techniques, Cabinet of Curiosities Parts I & II are running again as well.  I can't recommend Cabinet of Curiosities highly enough.

The embroidered vestments stitched by Helena Wintour were published in an exhibition book, Plots & Spangles, now out of print: https://www.amazon.com/Plots-Spangles-Embroidered-Vestments-Wintour/dp/0955359252/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24SQKC2YWMMKQ&keywords=plots+%26+spangles&qid=1691897948&sprefix=plots+%26+spangles%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-1
It's called Plots and Spangles because she was related to one of the Guy Fawkes/Gunpowder plot conspirators.  Her embroidery is extraordinary and worth seeking out.
