Maybe a Persian coat? Can you remove the quilting without leaving marks or permanent stitch holes? With satin, you are looking more at Renaissance fudging then Medieval, especially shiny satin. Your also looking at winter attire with this satin as it does not breath. Plus you should not make anything out of it that you will want to wear around a fire. If you are in SCA or similar group and if you have a coat of arms the has green in it you could use the satin for heraldic display stuff. Though it would not be material of the 1300s and 1400s, you could make a sideless surcoat. Could use it for a cloak lining. Or you could make a Florentine giornea and/or gammurra http://cadieux.mediumaevum.com/florentine.html
De -----Original Message----- I've already used the sheets to make a simple kirtle. My problem is that I'm not exactly sure what to make out of it. Not only is it satin, but its quilted in sort of a strange way, I cannot find pictures and I would take one, but an aquaintance has my camera at the moment. The quilting is all symmetrical, in straight lines, but intead of being noral quiltingit has some of it sticking up on some of the seams, I'm not really sure how to perscribe it. I have a comforter, pillow cases and curtains. Preferably the clothing I would creat out of it would be in a medieval style. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....Thank you..... _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
