I purchased the blackwork while going to GWW several years ago. Of course now I can do my own, but why waste a good pattern. |
| |
Materials 2 sets of fabric: |
One is 57" wide x 46" in 5.3oz linen that matches the material on the blackwork cuffs.
The other is 57" x 53" long in 3.8 oz linen that matches the material on the blackwork collar. This pattern is much smaller in size and is perfect for the neck. |

 |
I now have 2 sleeves made from the 46" long fabric.  The ruff is 1" it could be smaller
|
| |
|
I have to figure out how to maximize the body from the 53" fabric.
pretty sure this will work out |

Sewed the sleeves onto the body and cliped the collar embroidery and added the facing |

 Collar sewn in and you can see the neck gusset |

 shift without the collar  all gussets are sewn, most seam allowances are finished

I've tried the smock on and it's a tiny bit tight under the bust. Must remember to make it a bit bigger next time. Closed the sleeves completely. Made them tight enough to just slip over my hand. |
| |
|
The collar has to be turned back and the neck opening seam allowences sewn down. |
| |
|

|
Finished the inside with a bit of twill tape which reduces the bulk. At the bottom of the neck opening, a tack will releave the pressure to prevent pulling. |

At some future date, I'll decorate the shoulder seams with blackwork. |
