Gambeson Patterns (was RE: [Northkeep] last night's smack dow n)

[Horn, Trisha D.]

Okay, okay. I'm just trying to save having to stick my child back together
with a glue gun and cover him in Bondo (the bubbles are so hard to work
out). So 4 fabric, 1 cotton batting would suffice.  'Tis true, if he can't
move fast enough, there will be more gluing for me to do, so I won't make it
too thick.
