Rose's Bruegal Coat
Mar. 14th, 2009 02:17 pmI've done the research, cut out the fabric and then stalled because I needed to look at the research again to convince myself that what I cut out will work the way I want to.
Here are the pictures I'm using;
So I'm using rectangles to make the body, with a bit of shaping for the sleeve cap. It looks like the skirt is fuller in the back than the front.
The red coat fastens at the top and the waist, the skirt looks fuller at the front The grey one looks like it fastens at the side and isn't as full. I need to make Rose a nice warm flat cap.
I think this is a warmer time of year and the full skirts are the under dresses. The brown tops might be jackets.
I'm a bit worried about the collar. These close ups suggest that the body continues into the collar, but I didn't include that when I cut it out. I still need to make Rose a nice warm flat cap.
I went shopping this morning and bought some really nice green wool and some other stuff I won't tell you about 'cos it will just make you jealous. I also bought some whitework machine embroidered linen which I think I'll use for Sneetch's shirts.
You might like to check out Brunswick Fabrics. They had the linen and the wool. The wool was $10.80/m and included the nice navy cashmere stuff I've used to make hoods of warmth. No black there sadly. Another shop had 2 different sorts of black wool for $18/m and yet another had a beautiful black cashmere for $28/m.
btw. For Midwinter we should produce a google map of fabric shops with hours of opening and things to look for. Southron Gaard have this - http://sg.sca.org.nz/docs/FabricShopping.doc and it was very useful!!
