I am planning to make a start on some Elizabethan trunkhose and wanted to
ask anyone on this list with experience in this area for their help. In my
past dealings with these garments there has been a lot of layers of fabric
at the waist line and much difficulty sewing through the layers, both by
hand and by machine.
Are there any ways to reduce this? I have carpal tunnel in my wrists so
prefer lighter work, hence why I've avoided these in the past. Crunch time
has come and I really need to make a set. I'd like them to look historically
accurate on the outside, but in consideration to my wrists I'm happy to
consider alternatives inside and out of sight.
Many thanks,
Aylwen
