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
