For paintings of the garments worn at the time LePompe was published, see this. Look about 1/3 down the page.

Both the 2nd and 3rd and 5th are from LePompe, the oldest known pattern book, dating from the mid 16th century.

Comment by Jenny on April 18, 2018 at 2:47pm: Thanks Lorelei & Kate. When I take the pin out, I think it will be hard to find. I am reasonably happy with it & will gift it to whom it was intended. It is the second one I have done, the first one was not Square so I redid my pricking and did another one, only to cut it. I really was not looking forward to doing another yellow one, it is my least favourite colour. Next will be a blue on for me. I know my friend will love it, and probably never use it as intended. It may end up as a doily and will only be washed by hand if ever.

Thanks for the links to the threads. I think ordering on line for threads will be much cheaper than ordering fabric. I know people that pay horrendous prices to bring in fabric from OS

Comment by Kate Bainbridge on April 18, 2018 at 2:42am: Hi Jenny, well done that’s a really ‘fix’. Kate

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on April 17, 2018 at 10:32pm: It looks quite good. Success.

Comment by Jenny on April 17, 2018 at 9:30pm: I've had a go at fixing it. The best I can do.

Here is the link to the Sulky site. From their phone number (by the arrangement of numbers) I deduce that they are American. And this may be a problem for you in terms of shipping costs.

https://www.sulky.com/products/thread/cotton/ The website does have a section on international orders.

and here is another, but also unfortunately, American.

Comment by Jenny on April 17, 2018 at 7:52pm: Lorelei, I have been doing a search for Sulky Thread. The one I have been using is Guttermann Sulky 30, but there seems to be a Sulky brand like there is a Guttermann brand. Are the two one & the same or two different brands?

Comment by Jenny on April 17, 2018 at 7:42pm: I only discovered Sulky fairly recently. It's only stocked by one of our major haberdashery stores, and then only in the variegated. It has been beautiful to work with.

Comment by Lorelei Halley Administrator on April 17, 2018 at 4:51pm: Sulky has a website and you can order directly from them, the full range of their products.

Comment by Kate Bainbridge on April 17, 2018 at 2:56am: Hi Gabrielle, thanks for this. I had no idea. We have a very limited range where I live.

regards Kate
