Under to hand

Posted by Darc at 5:59 PM

The under-doublet is down to hand work. This means hand sewing the lining down. I can only go so far as I am awaiting hook and eye strips from my friend (she has a store near her that has one side-one yd segments for $1. So for 1yd both sides it is only $2- -compared to the normal $5-6 for 1/2yd. Even with shipping to me, it is still a huge savings).

Now I will cut the the over doublet-- oh, crud!!! I just realized as I look at the close fitting under-doublet the venetians may be too much! Argh. I guess I will have to make something between venetians and canions. Anywho, I will get the over-doublet (normally this would actually be a jerkin, but it will able to worn on its own, so it is a doublet) cut and tomorrow sewn down to handwork.

I am trying to get everything down to hand work that I can so that I can take it with me when I go on a retreat this weekend.

Ciao for now,
