bliaut progress
I have been making slow but steady progress on my new blue silk bliaut, and today I finally remembered to take a photo of the two sleeves, which are mostly done, and a close up photo of the pretty trim my friend A wove for me.
This is what the project looks like at 35.4 hours of sewing (not pictured is two more seams assembling the first of the sets of skirt gores). The sleeves are ten pieces each, so far--there are still under arm gores to add.
Amusingly, it has been 35 days since the project has started, so I am averaging just over an hour a day. However, since there have been a number of days I didn't work on it, in actuality, I am usually sewing for more than one hour at a time.
