Loving this linen
One week and a day ago I cut out a new underdress in the lovely white herringbone twill linen that I bought at the recent Viking costume workshop. The more I sew on this the more I am loving this fabric, it is so nice to touch.
So far I have accomplished 12 hours of work on it:
* Cut most of the pieces
* Finnished the neckline
* Attached the sleeves & finished those seams
* assembled the three triangles for one set of skirt gores and finished 1.25 of those seams.
Still to do:
* Finnish the seam in progress
* Assemble and finish the other set of three skirt gores.
* Attach the skirt gores to the body
* Cut and attach the underarm gores
* Decide if I want gores inset in the middle of the skirt, and if so cut and sew them
* sew shut sleeves and side seams.
* Hem dress and sleeves.
