I have found at Jo Ann's a cotton/linen blend that came very close to the chemise weight. I think it is called tissue linen.

Re: [h-cost] Sheer linen
Yes, they are in New York, but they do not sell retail to the consumer via their web site. They have a store locator which searches by your state and zip code. Unfortunately, the store near me only sells the linen household goods, not fabrics by the yard. Sad. If anyone figures out how to get their fabrics online, I'd love to hear about it.

[h-cost] Shirt pattern - SCA period - pre-1600
Oh goody - I get to make a shirt for a teenage boy - a fully adult-sized teenage boy with really limited and specific tastes in clothes. He has a shirt, acquired from a vendor at an SCA event, that he loves and that looks really great on him. His shirt is not really period for SCA but he likes it, so what's a mom to do? I'm hoping to make him something that he'll like as well as that one, without the event price-tag and maybe a little bit more period. Butterick 4486 looks a LOT like his shirt, and would be even closer if I just add a simple collar - no problem. But I'm pretty sure it's not period - not close for anything any earlier than maybe Victorian? Likewise, Simplicity 3758 is probably only somewhat close to the 1800s and not pre-1600. So what would be a good shirt pattern, commercial or drafted by me, for a shirt that will appeal to a teenager in the way that the commercial patterns mentioned above would, but would still be a little bit closer to pre-1600? He has a lovely Bocksten-style tunic which, so far, he has shown no interest in wearing. I would have loved to outfitted him in Viking, but he seems to prefer something in a later period. I am planning on making him a lovely chocolate brown, cotton velveteen doublet, but that's not at the top of the costume to-do list right now. Ok, so I'm only asking the impossible - that's life with teens! Laurie T. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
