Sewing a Medieval Kirtle Recreating 15th Century Artwork

We’re being ambitious today, and attempting to recreate a summer working class kirtle from the June illumination from Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry – painted between 1412 and 1416. This is a fun handsewing project made from a cotton-linen blend, and is fantastic for medieval adventures in summer weather.
