Winter partlet continued

Despite some personal frustration over switching to autopilot, and sewing the wrong part of the partlet to the wrong part of the partlet, whilst working on the train (which I thought was a very efficient use of my time on the way to brunch)...

... I am now using my winter partlet as a break from the frightening issue of actually quilting my Orange quilt! It's taken me so much to get there and I don't want to ruin it. I think I'll sit down tomorrow night and tack it all up. No sense in rushing it.

So my winter partlet is all pinned up, I've read the Tudor tailor for guidance, not really that helpful, but at least there was a picture. We'll see how that goes... 

I need to make some nice ties to go in there before I sew up the sides too... Hmm... Not too keen on making ties - it's a bit fiddly - I can make big ties though, therefore less fiddly. Hmm... Ooh! Ooh! I can use my bright blue wool and some white linen I have left over. Ok, procrastination over, I'd better get onto doing my handstitching before bedtime! Here are a couple of pics.

N.b. Pincushion is definitely not an authentic Tudor one! ;)

Night!
