PoF and Janet Arnold

Ok, so I went home last night, crawled into bed and read PoF specifically looking for instances of linings and how the linings were attached.
I was perusing the Authentic_SCA yahoo group and they were talking about lined garments and how none of the women’s dresses were lined in PoF. That struck me as odd since I distinctly remembered some of them being lined.
The results of my research are pretty interesting and I am at this moment writting them up. Hopefully I will actually get them posted to my website this weekend, or maybe even tonight.

Lovely lovely green silk!

When I got home today there was a little white package on the door step waiting for me. White packages are ALWAYS good things. I got my order from Denver Fabrics today, the beautiful medium lime green silk shantung (wonderful fabric!!!) oh so soft Italian cotton velvet, and this really cool black linen that I got for lining the doublet. Its almost like its counted thread linen, but in black. I was thinking of all of the really cool embroidery projects that I could do with it, and then reality set in.

I really like this silk shantung from DF, its slightly heavier than the duponi and has very very few slubs, it just makes me wantt to buy more fabric in lots of different colors and make something fabuleous. I have no idea what yet, that takes differnt brain cells than the impulse buying ones.
Isn't it just gorgeous?
