Brown Collar and Cuffs with Green Leaves

18th Feb, 2006

I have decided to make a few collar and cuff sets to maybe sell. We are having a market day for our big dress up event in July, at Tocal. So this gives me a bit of time to get a few sets done. I am using my 13th C pouch pattern as the basis. This pattern is a leaf variation, took me four hours to do. Should take about that long for matching cuffs. Good way to use up the big batch of Appletons I got cheap. I am using scraps for these projects. This took about four hours to do.

I got the cuffs onto the frame today. I took them to Sunday meeting and got about a 1/3 done.

Only got another couple of hours done last night. Not really worth photo update. The cuffs are about 20 inches long.

Finished off the cuffs last night. All up, 8 hours for both of them.

And both together, they need a brush down and an iron, but I am quite pleased with them. I am thinking of reds/rusts for the next set. So approx. 12 hours for the set.
