I asked Maxime to look through my pattern books to choose some inspiration for his new clothing. He chose an outfit from The Tudor Child which is based on an outfit worn by Prince Henry VIII but Maxime prefers this painting of young King Edward and it’s nearly the same style.

We traced the line drawings from the pattern book and then we worked together to color the tracings so that we both knew which fabric would be used and where.
I have taken his measurements:
And now it’s time to prepare my fabric and get to work!
Here is what I have yet to do, I will update this post as I finish these steps.
