Sleeve problems

[frualeydis]

All the buttons (wooden discs covered with fabric) and buttonholes are finished on Rickard's green c. 1300 tunic. I didn't like how the sleeves fit however, so I ripped them out and re-sewed them. The elbow fit better then, but they looked really weird from the back. Ripped them out again and cut away quite a lot. I so hope they will look better this time.

other news:
* the trailer is booked for the trip to Visby
* the tickets for the ferry to Visby are confirmed. Hopefully there won't be any fuck-ups this year; like last year when Rickard had to wait six hours for the next ferry, due to a mistake from the ferry company.
* I will leave the PDF-file with the dissertation to the printer tomorrow

The problem really is that the sleeve pattern from the Herjolfsnes buttoned coats is pretty weird; the curve in the sleeve is very deep. My husband hasn't tried the new version yet and now he's off to work. I will have to work on a new wool tunic for Maja today.

Sleeves are evil. And yay! about the dissertation.
