Recreating a 17th-century embroidered jacket, The Embroiderers' Story chronicles its progress.

The Left Front

May 10th, 2008 by Jill Hall

left front as of May 5Here’s another snapshot of a piece in progress. This is the left (as the wearer sees it) front, and was taken on May 5. The shallow curve at top left is the neckline; the deeper curve at right is the armhole.

The two fronts are the least-favored pieces to work because the frames are so wide. It’s hard to reach around the frames to work on the middle. Still, quite a bit has been done, and hopefully more will be added next weekend.
