So many rags!

I almost forgot that there's a blogpost still due today - I've gotten rather sidetracked with both the desk work (where finally the email and paper stacks approach something like normal-ish dimensions) and the Bernuthsfeld tunic project work.

Where I have started on the front of the tunic, since the back is almost finished - there's a few small things still to do on the back, but they need some more thinking and possibly finessing, so they will be taken care of later. Putting the front together also has some interesting spots, as there's missing bits here and there, and the stuff that remains (including seams that run through what once was the patch underneath a missing piece) are not all very clearly indicating size and shape of the missing bits... not to speak of the colour and cloth type at all.

Anyway, there's progress. And this is what the place where the progress takes place looks like:



The computer with pictures to keep track of details, and to check things. Bits and pieces of cloth, partly already sewn together, partly only cut, partly not even cut yet. Lists and more lists - of seam types, cloth types, numbers and pieces. Plus the usual tools - scissors, shears, pins, needles, charcoal and chalk to mark lines, and lots and lots of paper pattern pieces. And, of course, the overview plan taken directly from the original.

Can you tell I'm having fun?
