Capt. Sterling

Haven't been invited back since Bilge stepped down from handling the reenactor side of it...and without camping available any more... some of them that live locally might attend for fun.

Yer welcome, sorry I couldn't be of more help

Not a bad thought, but all that interlining is for proper support/shaping of the garment...the extra padding at the shoulder is because the average body has a tendency to go concave there so the padding is to fill it out and give the body a "better" shape. The interlining helps keep the garment from sagging or as in the shoulder seam helps support some of the stress. Check the silhouette of your garment, padding in the skirt also helps to keep it from sagging or just hanging...

apologies...double post

dang...stuttering...once again apologies... But will add here, thanks to Grymm for sharing a cool find. Mind sharing the link where you found them as well?

First suggestion, which you most likely have considered already but tis worth mentioning... make a mock up out of some cheap fabric that is similar to what the finished linen will be...the last thing you wish to do is experiment with the good fabric and cut it right away...make sure you have a working pattern that fits first.... As to the sleeve...without seeing a picture, one can only assume that the cuff/facing is yellow? Is there a illustration of said coat so one can try and determine how the cuff is cut? And regarding the felt... what do you mean by felt? As over here, the first time of felt that usually jumps to mind is the kind used in crafts, which I am not too sure would be the best item for the interlining of a coat...I would highly suggest a linen canvas which was often used in coats of the period.

You go Lady! Excellent!!!!!

Got em... thanks Gents.

OI since when does my nose need tweaking??? oops...never mind....

So where have we gotten on the choice for the first charity pick?

Funny how adults take offense for their kids, when the kids aren't even close to being offended. Maybe we should be taking lessons from our children and not teaching them how to hate and take offense by what people do and do with no intentions of giving harm.

thank you Lady B. for confirming this...

Oi Stynky hear ye are attending School of the Sailor? Look forward to seeing you

Innocence? Oh I wouldn't be to sure of that... have you looked up the meaning to the word closest to Robbie's ... libidinous comes to mind...rather quickly... no innocence, no intelligence, but not just dumb luck on Robbie's part either...there is a bazaar method to his madness...and I ... ahem.. mean madness...

Blackbeard as youth chaperon... what is wrong with this picture? Would have loved to join you with this but unfortunately state testing rears its ugly head this month...

**SIGH**

Ack **shuddering** another kilt up in the rigging....glad I am to be blind in at least one eye

Oi Jack, ye might be wanting to pm Stynky on that question...he might not see it in here and he would certainly know the answer to it.

Aye yer blond, just like yer father...

Gee I bet Mrs. F... helped ye with this one...

Hmmm methinks this may be an impostor.. after all if t'was Robbie, his finger would be up Dutch's nose, not just pointing out the fact that the man is not wearing a decent neck cloth...

**attempting not to choke on his laughter at someone else's misfortune**
