Work is finally coming along on the doublet I'm making for Nick. It was supposed to be for his birthday. His birthday was in June. Whoops. Better late than never? I was originally going to make it a silver doublet with a canvas interlining, but I decided that since it was a present I should probably do it right. So I used a lighter fabric for the interlining and a nice black fabric for an actual lining. Then I thought that, since the black fabric was so nice, maybe I should make it into a reversible doublet- silver on the one side, black on the other. I finished cutting out all the pieces of the main body today. I'm going to sew on the skirting, epaulets and collar after I've got the body together. And just as a note to myself- silver thread in the top thread, black thread in the bobbin. That way, it won't show up. Right? Hopefully? |
