A red 16th century jacket
Sep. 30th, 2010 10:12 amI have decided to make a matching jacket for my red 16th century kirtle. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
litensessa has a very nice english style jacket which matches her red kirtle, but since I mostly tend towards Flemish, and occasionally German, styles I looked at woodcuts by Weigel and Joost Amman showing these regions for inspiration. Like these:
This far I have made a mock-up from the lining fabric and tacked them together. I have a cold and my arthritis is not being kind to me, but as soon as I feel up to lacing myself into the kirtle I will try it on.
