Looks like she is preparing flax.

I don't know what a short sleeved kirtle looks like.
Hmmmm... maybe I am putting 2+3 and getting 7 here, but could this
image below be an example of a short sleeved kirtle with an attached
sleeve?

zoom in close to the far left of the image. It is a woman working
whacking something. She's wearing green dress with short upper
sleeves, and a pinkish colored lower sleeve. She's holding a cudgel?
or something in her hands.
Granted, it is a working woman who is from Belgium, not England. She's
also not a noble woman, but could this be an example of something
similar to what we can't see under Tudor gowns?
