I saw a bunch of the same doublet at the fair the next day, which was fun for me. It seems this pattern (Simplicity 4059) is a popular one for the Renaissance Festival. Dan enjoyed it at the fair. Emily and Tabitha have also enjoyed it as well.

Gold Velvet
For the Renaissance Festival this year, I made Dan a new doublet and hat. The night before we went. So, the finishing details were a little rushed, and I left off all the flaps around the bottom of the vest. I just happened to have some pretty awesome gold velvet, and some gold and blue fabric to line part of the vest and the hat. The back of the vest got some basic brown.

They look great in it! That gold velvet is a really nice rich color.
ReplyDeleteEmily looks so cute in her Daddy's outfit! Mom showed me a picture of Dad in Dan's old outfit. He looked very spiffy.
