One gambeson down, three to go

Got my pattern, cut it out on Friday, and got it sewn on Saturday. T decided to go with the 'short' version. I just need to get him to try it on to hem the sleeves and then put lacing holes in and I'm done! I had to cut the shoulders shorter and the armholes deeper and the fit was pretty good. The other three I need to make are all 'skinny' so I think I will need to copy the original pattern onto paper and then cut them smaller. Another job to do on the sooner rather than later list! I'm at work so cannot upload any photos - if I remember, will do it in the next few days. (I am off to the movies with my mum tonight.) Pre-quilted cotton fabric is awesome ;-) I know it is cheating a little and is not as thick as some of the gambesons however it suits our needs and what my husband is comforatble wearing. Will see how it holds up in combat - I dare say this will be version one and it will evolve! LOL

Too much sewing to do..........

and not enough motivation and time to do it in! LOL

Got some mundane mending done on Monday night - at least that is out of the way!

Got a whole stash of fabric from Aminah on the weekend so lots to do! I'm hoping to get motivated when I have some time off over Christmas and period patterns 101 arrived so I can have a go at making some gambesons and arming caps (which are top of the list).
