Yeah! Pickle and Nibbs' main garb is done!

The boys' garb is close enough that, even though we are without their flat caps, sleeves, and capes, they could wear the garb to next weekends excursion to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival.  I hope to get good pics later this weekend, or next week, when I get their caps and sleeves done.  The capes will come later this summer.


Here is the Pickle:

Pickle's doublet chevron's were done by using the buttonhole/overlock stitch option on my sewing machine.  The "V" of the top portion is was merely created by apply trim to separate the bottom portion from the top.


The ruff at his neck and wrist is edged using the same stitch used to create the chevrons.


I simply need to add plackets to Pickle's doublet and canions.

Nibbs sporting a doublet with studded collar, jerkin with pinked skirting tabs, and venetians/galligans.


His ruff has a loose zig-zag stitch along the top edges at the neck and wrist.

There are 17 fabric covered buttons down the front.  I used my lingerie stitch attachment to make a fine 1/8" seem; then using my overlock/button hole stitch setting couched the strip.  I then cut the strip into 17 segments to make the loops for the buttons.


Ok to other business items now.


Ciao for now,
