How to make an Embroidered Court Suit - Part one - Starting embroidery on Count Fersen's Frock Coat

This is the first part of showing how I got started working on the Count Fersen Frock coat, an amazing and intriguing part of1785 history. Here, I discuss digitizing the court suit, and the process of embroidering, and working with the embroidered pieces. Please subscribe to follow along on this over the top project.

Next episode will discuss further work on the coat as well as starting on the breeches for the court suit.
