sleeves

[ursula]

I'm trying to make sleeves like the ones worn by the woman in the lower left-hand corner or the girl with an apron in the back of this painting:

How do people think they would have been fastened on the upper arm & wrist? Buttons? Lace? Pins? A couple of stitches?

Need some help, little girl? I have candy ... in the form of a whole lot of good Italian sources. Call me, maybe we can meet up at CT's soon and geek.

Mmmm, candy. I hear that CT fell today and ended up in the emergency room, so I hesitate to volunteer his hospitality, but the general plan sounds good.
