The directions created by the Smock Generator assume you'll be putting this directly on your fabric. I'm going to draw it on paper since I'll be making multiple versions.
I found enough in this green that's probably a cotton/polyester blend. The polyester makes it not fire-safe, but I can probably use the finished chemise as one of the 14th century gowns if it turns out well. Besides I have to use this fabric up before I can justify buying more.
I've figured out one good thing about commercial patterns, using the material fold takes up less floor space.
The only thing I'm unsure of while facing cutting the fabric is the neck hole. I want a collar with a small ruff and those instructions are not provided by the Elizabethan Smock Generator.
Problem for the next sewing session. I ended this one after cutting the fabric.

I notice you threaten to cage your cat...some very wise people have told me that no garb is complete without cat hair (or dog hair, if you're of that ilk.)
I like your comments about the duct-tape double. Will be looking at your blog more soon!
