Surcote neck reinforced

I had a little down time last night so I pinned the linen reinforcing strip to the inside of my new, sand coloured surcote, and since the movie wasn't quite finished, I started sewing it in.

I'm using a stab stitch for a firm result, and I did manage to complete both the top and the bottom. The strip itself has the raw ends folded underneath, making it neat and since it goes around, it provides extra stability over the shoulder seams.

I'm officially staying on Pixelfed.

Even if the amount of reenactment I've found is very, very low (but it's early days) the quality of their archaeology postings is very high from places I've not seen elsewhere is amazing. Some nice science. Breathtaking photography. Even the official pixelfed memes page is stuff I haven't seen again and again already. And no ads. Just stuff I actually want to see.

My own posts are also reaching completely new audiences, even if they are a modest amount, they are new. Small crowds but quality. I'll probably do Bluesky flashes when it happens soon, but I'm definitely staying on Pixelfed. I feel there is a whole new audience to introduce to our wonderful world of reenactment and 14th century history.
