Brown gored tunic project - seam finishing
While I was away on my Thanksgiving trip, I did some of the time consuming seam finishing. Both sleeves, side seams and side gores are now done using the seam treatment shown as Figure 19 here. It was serendipity that I started finishing seams this way when I first started hand sewing in linen because it seemed like a good idea - then discovered later that the same technique was used historically.
To do:
Cut and insert second center gore.
Finish seams for both center gores.
Finish neckline.
Finish sleeve cuffs.
Hem skirt.
(Embroider? Maybe?)
