frualeydisI wonder, is there anybody but me who feels sorely tempted to make one of these embroidered elizabethan jackets?
Drea Leed has made a jacket of patterned upholstery fabric and Kass McGann has made
one from embroidered fabric. They look great both of them, but I would like to embroider it myself. Is this a sign of insanity?
Anyway it won't be done before I find out which size I'm going to have, so it'll be a year before I even start. But as said, I'm sorely tempted and have borrowed some books with pictures of embroidered jackets today.
Oh, and no baby today either. Yesterday I thought something migh thappen in the next few days, but now everything is back to normal again.

Date: 2004-04-14 03:24 pm (UTC)I made one from wool and had plans on embroidering it in wool (so not actually a recreation, but interpretation)
I don't have anything from that part of the century o wear it wil, but I figure it's not too bad over a kirtle or boned corset and petticoat at a pinch.
Hey, yours will be a work of art and somethig to pass on to your children:)
