Thorsberg tunic

[Tim Edwards]

Does anyone have any detail on how the various pieces of the Thorsberg tunic are sewn together?

I think this was possibly published by K Schlabow, but I don'y have the book. I do have three of Graham Sumner's books, which are excellent, but do not detail exactly what stitching methods are used where.

Neck: Is this cut down, or does it dip because of a rolled hem?

Sides: As far as I can tell, the sides are left open, blanket stitched and secured by a series of small 'ties'.

Sleeves: It looks like the seams are blanket stitched, butted together and then sewn through. Some people have commented that the sleeves were separate, ie detachable, and the material was of a different weave. I'm not thoroughly convinced by this latter assertion, judging from the grainy images I have.

Tablet weave: The 'cuffs' appear to have tablet woven borders, but I can't ascertain whether this is true for the main body of the tunic.

I'd appreciate any help.
