Issue 42

In this issue I attached the armoured parts to the silk section of the sleeve. This involved a lot of stitching. First I anchored the top and hand sections down, then I carefully attached selected links in the chainmail. Enough to keep the chainmail loose, but not fully detached from the sleeve. This was made difficult for the same reasons as before; combining black thread, black metal links, and black silk makes it hard to see exactly what you are doing. However, compared to when I did the same section on the other arm, this time it was completed faster. I hope that continues to hold true for the next few issues because they were very difficult the first time I did them.
