All,
I'm curenlty working on an oversmock of sorts, for labor work. I say
"Oversmock" because of the length, coming in a about 4 inches above my knees. anyhow, I was planning on just breast lining it with canton flannel. But the wheels in my mind have started turning a different direction.
My question is, has anyone seen originals that exhibit quilting, rather than just plain lining? By quilting, I mean as in Frock coats of the day, with batting in between the layers of fabric. I want some kind of lining in it, do to the light weight of the cotton fabric. Wanting to actualy get some use out of it this winter as I errect a shack for L.H. use.
Any guidance would be appreciated,
