Using a linen I don't know where he got it and neither does he at this point.
Did a burn test to see if it's linen and it is. Seems to be very good stuff.
Cut out the pieces using Catherine's measurments which said that it included .5 seam allowance
I'm putting it together differently:
sew sleeve seam (used .25 french seam, but still too much) Will use .5 SA regular seams from now on.
Sewed the top of the gore to the sleeve. Finish the seam allowance.
Sew the long seam of the sleeve/gore to the main body. (now only the long central Side seam is left open
finish the seam allowances on these long seams....1/4 way through 9-13-08
cut out neck hole
Sew the long seam gore (top doward)
Sew the underarm sleeve seam. (underarm outward)
Finish all seam allowances by hand (the time consumming part)
trim neck hole
trim the sleeves
