Cotehardie and Reverie

[cristovau]

So, a friend of mine has taken a Pinterest interest in cotehardies, and I was looking up some information on friends who know a thing or two about them. I've never made one, but I have heard fitted cotehardies are a handful. One thing leads to another and I'm looking at Carolingia's Order of the Moon.

I fall near the end, 03/06/2010 - Cristovau Vasquez... ...but that list, it is excellent company to keep and I have not been in this company much of late. It was a striking fit of melancholy. I need to get out more.

So, I hope to get a chance to see the Lysistrata show that the Verse and Vodka irregulars are putting on. It would be good to see all y'all there.

Oh, and if anyone has excellent resources on Cotehardies, that would be awesome as well.

More anon...

Draping them is really not that hard... There are a couple of "tricks" and it takes time and practice to get them smooth, you just have to take the time to iteratively adjust the pattern. Which is why you bring a lot of pins to the patterning session.

I really hope someone knows a good way to create an even seme or semy pattern on fabric. (Without an embroidery machine... or any skill with embroidery by hand, for that matter.)
