Quote:Hey, VERY nice, Travis I like how it ties together on the sides.
Will it be padded ?
Will it be all one piece with additional layers of pteruges attached ?
In other words, will any pteruges be of the same piece of material as the subarmalis ?
Faventianvs is right. I used a fan pattern for the shoulders.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Basically, I will be making two thin subarmalia, and will be stitching them together, with the padding inbetween. Each subarmalis will have a layerd construction to allow each pteruged to be integral to the subarmalis, with a cloth covering, felt padding on both sides and a cloth core that makes the fringe (though in the making I may use some "cheats" to save time/money on construction
