Ok, so I cut out the pieces for my Kirtle and, well, I should follow my own directions.  I cut the neck too big so I'm going to have to figure out some way to fix that.  I'm going to try maybe making a center seam down the front and back.  It really irritates me when I do something like this.

My trim is on it's way, so I can start putting this together.  Oh well, live and learn.
