kprocheI finished the undershirt (replacing the dicky I made for Gallifrey) for the able seaman's uniform tonight.
I'm pretty pleased with it, given that I had to draft the pattern from a photo of a frequently-laundered vintage garment.
And, for reference when you're looking at the photos, this is made from a woven cotton, *not* a knit...

| Able Seaman's undershirt A white cotton (neckline edged with blue denim) version of the white wool "flannel" which would have been part of a 1912 seaman's uniform. All the seams are flat felled, and the edges have a rolled handkerchief hem |
