Dec. 27th, 2004 09:16 pmI've figured out what to use that lovely thick grey-green fabric that I snitched during the Embroiderer's guild, make a kirtle out it.
Yay!
First off, I'm using a pattern that I made it's something that I've never done before. The muslin is turning out decently except for the fact that six yards is apparently not enough for the whole dress and that I've made the hips waaaaayyyy tooo big, but better big than too small. Everything else looks to be going quite smoothly. I'm also going to try the side lacings rather than the back and handsewn eyelets. In other words, this is quite an experiment for me and I'm having lots of fun.
