Dress Diary - Warwick Shirt: Pieces
Warwick Shirt Pieces
Originally uploaded by Ragnvaeig. I've finished all of the constituent pieces that go into the shirt. The front/back of the original was all one piece, but in order to use my fabric more efficiently I cut mine slightly differently.
Have tracked down the original at the Warwickshire County Museum, and requested more information than they list on their site. Pending what they tell me, I may not edge the individual pieces before sewing them all together, as "interlaced insertion stitch" does the job of outlining the seams pretty well on their own. Also, need to consider whether thirteenletters would want the bobbin lace of the original, or whether I might finish the front opening differently.
