State of the Chain - It's a shirt!

janestarzAll those long months of hard work have paid off.
Yesterday I threaded the front and back panel together and tried them on. They fit - even though my hips won't fit in it unless I open up the sides somewhat - and they fit well enough!
It's a shirt!
It's not quite finished yet, but I'm really really getting there. To make it wearable I will need to add two wide triangles (as "shoulders" of the shirt) as the start of raglan sleeves. These will be 5 or 6 cm wide at the narrowest point and slope like the front and back pieces do.
Once these are finished and attached, I will probably have my gambeson ready and I can check if the shirt will fit over the gambeson or if I will need to add some more room at the sides.
When that is all done, I can continue with longer sleeves if I want, but I can even postpone this until after Drachenfest.
With T-minus two months on the clock, we're nearly there!
