A new medieval cotton gown

[frualeydis]

I ran out of hand sewing at our sewing meeting on Thursday (after putting snaps in the doll spencers and taking in a knitted cardigan that was too big for me. So I started on my late 13th-early 14th century Italian cotton gown. And since I am a very fast hand sewer, and I had some time for sewing at the Yule party, it was finished this morning. AND Rickard had the time to take photos before leaving for work - he works 2 pm to 10.20 pm Saturday and Sunday every other weekend.

Here's a link to the page about it.




Lots more photos there, and discussion about sources.

Today I have also finished a "net" caul made of metal braid for Valeria's Eleonora di Toledo outfit, I will probably start on the matching partlet tomorrow. Unless I have gotten some more yarn then and can finish my stepdad's christmas present. The are a priority.
