It is finally happening – this is my last posting concerning the “reinforcement of neckline stress points“. 🙂
In my most recent postings I introduced you to an old hand sewing technique which helps to provide “reinforcement for neckline stress points”.

Though there is not much time left until our 12th century wedding ceremony Gulf Wars and I am working like a maniac to finish all the 12th century wedding clothing I have on my list, I really couldn’t resist to add at least a little bit of embroidery to his 12th century tunic. Well, you know, when you have the overwhelming feeling that something is missing, you really have to add it to ease your mind. 😉
