I am starting this blog with The Artemisian Costuming Challenge to see how well I keep track of my progress. If it works to keep me on track I will apply it to my other projects as well!

Kirtle is done!...maybe...
The Herringbone wool kirtle with wool accent & wool trim is complete. I think. I had JUST enough trim to do the bottom and I mean JUST enough...I literally have less than 1/2 an inch of it left lol. I may still do some fingerloop braids to go around the edges of the neck and the wrists. It just seems too plain to me but I don't want to do a blanket stitch with the herringbone pattern.
I ended up flipping the trim on the collar, I really loved both sides so I figured that if I did one side for the arms it should be perfectly fine to do the other side for the collar. I matched the collar for the bottom trim.
Its a little bit big, and the shoulders are a bit wide...I really need to get someone to measure me PROPERLY so I know exactly what width I really need to use. But it still fits very well and its a good length too. I am VERY happy with it.
