In going through my fabric stash, I find I have a number of things I've
bought over the years that I no longer consider suitable for medieval
clothing. They're good fabrics, and I am wondering what they might be
useful for (other than modern clothing or home decor). I know almost
nothing about periods after 15th c.
What periods, if any, would these be suitable for:
-- linen dyed in strong colors, e.g. cranberry, deep green, bright red,
black (I've been using the hot pink for mock-ups!) (snip)
--Robin
Oh, these would be great for early 17th cen. stuff. I've been amazed at the
strong colors I've been turning up in paintings and written records. I've
got a bright red dress jacket made up in linen and I'd like to get a
petticoat done to match it, but didn't have enough fabric for that.
