Here's my latest pattern,
based on suggestions from Aitor and Florian's, Aklore's and John's Subarmalia.
I will hopefully start cutting it out soon.
The plan is to cut several layers. I have been reading over on the Linothorax thread as well.
the inner layer will be linen, then a layer of 1/8th inch felt (snythetic, since it won't be seen and I need to save costs.)
Then a cloth core, then more felt and then another layer of linen.
Basically I will do this twice, and stitch the two sets together, perhaps with another thicker layer of felt inbetween. This may see like a lot, but I am trying to make the pteruges integral to the subarmalis, while still making two rows of pteruges. I will offset the pteruges on one layer for the final project.
Here's how it will break down.
2 layers with
linen/felt /cloth core(fringe)/felt/cloth
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Travis
