Making a Tudor Smock

In this video I show show I made a Tudor Style Smock to wear to the Renaissance Fair. This is a smock that I had been planning on making for quite some time to go with my kirtle, and the day before I went to the Renaissance Fair this year I decided that there was no time like the present! I used the gridded pattern from the wonderful book, The Tudor Tailor: Reconstructing sixteenth-century dress by Ninya Mikhaila and Jane Malcolm-Davies. This was the 1st time I had ever tried to graft a gridded pattern from a book onto fabric, but I think it went pretty well.
