While she was in Orpington, Lucy helped me to create a pattern for a sleeve for my kirtle.  To be honest, she did most of the work. I just stood getting measured and giving advice.

Now I have cut out sleeves from the kirtle fabric and white cotton for the lining.  In those days, sleeves weren’t sewn in, but attached by pins or ties, so you could wear different ones with the same garment.

The cream fabric is a bit of curtain I bought in a charity shop.  I plan to use it for a giornea (a sort of over-dress), another pair of sleeves and a headdress.
