Slinger
#42
I actually have that page bookmarked, I was using the blanket stitch for the cut edges. I did not plan on using that stitch for anything but preventing raveling on the cut edges while washing, but if it is not good enough for linen, I have not gotten very far, so I can start over with a hem instead.

Also, the reason I got whip stitches confused with blanket stitches is Wikipedia and some other websites listed them as the same, simply different terms for it. I have been catching every stitch on the last one.

The only thing odd about the selvages is that they have needle-sized holes zig-zagged through them. Otherwise they do not look exceptionally odd or modern.
My plan is to use the selvedge ends for the top and bottom, since they will most likely be about the right height even with shrinkage. My only question is, how exactly do I hem the arm holes (I do not plan to have sleeves, just arm holes, since from what I understand sleeves were uncommon especially in the BC era)? Should I cut as if I were going to have sleeves in order to leave just enough fabric to fold and hem? Would I hem the entire cut side?

Edit: By the way, I will be out of town from Oct 20-24.

I chose the name Phoenician because I have a large interest in Phoenician and Carthaginian history. I am interested in many other areas as well, however.
