This is a fabulous piece of fabric I picked up a while back, during a fabric safari with BeaJay and John. At the time, I think John was underwhelmed with it, but I’m hoping it will grow on him! The fabric he really wants for his under-doublet is one I already had, and there is very, very little of it. I have enough for the project, but not enough to allow for any sort of screw-ups. So, I thought, since I’m experimenting with a different sort of pattern for him, it would be good to try it on something I have in plenty. Ironically, this amazing chenille brocade is gonna be it. If my new pattern works as planned on this one, I’ll go ahead and cut the other fabric. So, he’s gonna get two separate under-doublets. And, assuming he doesn’t hate this fabulous fabric once he has it on, I guess he’ll get two sets of sleeves as well. Hmmm … I guess I should be sewing instead of writing!
