And sew, it begins.

Pictured here are just a few of the pieces of linen and cotton that will become garb. The white is destined for a camica, a leine, veils and a chemise. The solid light blue, red and black and the print red and gold will be transformed into Roman garb.

The first step is to serge the raw ends and wash to pre-shrink and to take out the sizing left from the manufacturing process.

Wait until I show you the rest of the 44 yards of linen for the outer garments...
