Slippery fabric is the work of an evil deity. I have just cut out all pieces for my bliaut and was cutting the lining for the sleeves, which is in a very slippery tomato orange viscose. One of the pieces looks terribly wonky, there is no way it could get the same shape as the sleeve it's supposed to line. Which is funny, because it's cut exactly after that sleeve!
Right now I'm ignoring this fact and I'm going to try to force it into that shape anyway, because I have no more fabric. I guess I could use scraps to make another sleeve, but I'm going to try with this one first, I mean it once had the same shape as the sleeve.

The american way it will be.
The sleeves are not made from straight pieces and gores, because I just couldn't be bothered trying to piece the patterned fabric together. So they are curved and bell shaped.
I haven't made any more tries because I have been away listening to a lecture and drinking tea with Anna. Tomorrow I will help my mother move so I will probably not tackle this until monday.

Instead I have made a longer slit in another 12th century dress, so I can nurse in it. That's the dress I'm planning to use during the day.
