Over the next year, we will be recreating a 17th-century embroidered jacket. The Embroiderers' Story will chronicle its progress.

Next Stitching Session

We have scheduled the first session of 2009.  It will be Friday, March 27th to Monday, March 30th in the Wardrobe Department at Plimoth.  The Plantation will be open for the spring and the department will be finished outfitting the interpreters so there will be space.

We have a set of stitchers who are already signed up but have room for more.  We need a variety of stitching done – silk (trellis stitch and detached buttonhole), gilt sylke twist (detached buttonhole), gold thread (plaited braid, spider web, and reverse chain), as well as sewing on hundreds of oes.  So depending on your favorite technique – drop me (tricia@alum.mit.edu) an email if you would like to come and stitch with us and I can send you more information.

We are over 80% finished with the jacket and about 50% done with the coif/forehead cloth.  So we won’t have very many sessions left to go.  I will be posting the last session dates in the next week so anyone who wants to help can plan to participate.

Tricia
