My own heraldic gambeson.
Jul. 8th, 2009 10:41 pmI have the most awesome apprentice! Swieczka helped me by drafting a pattern for my own gambeson to wear for siege. I can sew just about anything once I have a pattern but I suck at pattern drafting.
Eric has a reasonably new one I made a couple of years ago that I could have worn. But this one is all MINE.
It is green and will have yellow binding around all the edges. I will then applique the three scallop shells on the front. I must be careful how I configure the shells. The hilarity that will ensue if I don't get it right will know no bounds. I know my friends..... (look up my name in the Atlantian OP. An image of my device is there, then let the unfortunate pictures float through your mind...)
I'll be getting my helm after Pennsic when a friend will be making a post-pennsic armor order. I'm in no hurry as an opportunity for actually being on a siege team will not come around for quite a while. Till' then I will work on my personal heraldic spiffyness.
