The long promised Cotehardie and Sideless Surcoat!







I have finally taken photos of my first attempt at using Period Patterns #21. The Cotehardie is made from white corderoy (sp?) and the Sideless Surcoat from dare I say it, recyled curtain material ;-) Can't remember the sort of material I used for the gold lining on the surcoat though - I didn't write it down. The lacing holes are hand done using red wool.

The fit isn't as snug as I would like it, but I don't think it's too bad an attempt for a first go! I hope to purchase the pattern for the men's cotehardies soon too as Cyriac has decided he likes the men's clothing from that period too.
