I was planning to use a modified version of Burda 7977 http://preview.tinyurl.com/2jq7jr but it calls for nearly 6 yards and I don't think the changing the sleeves will save me 2 yards of fabric OK I've gone all waffly in this post but the summary is I've got 3 & 3/4 yds of fabric and I need a 15th century kirtle either with short sleeves do you think it's plausible either with or without piecing, opinions and shared experiences are welcome. Thanks Elizabeth
It wouldn't be easy. Playing with fabric layouts in my head, the best I can do still only ends up with a 120 inch hem, minus seam allowances - which would be fine for me, but would probably be pretty minimal on you. Another 1/2 yd or 60 inch wide fabric and I'd say absolutely, go for it, but I think in this case it might be too much work for sub-optimal results. - Catrijn _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
