Item, one coif, embroidered in red.
I confess that I have been involved in 16th century costuming for more than 3 decades and yet this is my *first* coif!
I followed the basic, 'fold a rectangle of cloth and fit it to the back of your head' method but added a couple of small darts to shape it more smoothly to the head in back.
I started with one of a pair of embroidered guest towels, Flora from Pottery Barn, which I bought on eBay.
Marking the curve
Cutting out
I french seamed the edge and then pinned in the darts
All sewn up
Voila!
My gosh! That really was super simple!
