1530's shirt, simple construction experiment

I decided to start by making a plain version of the shirt using basic fairly open weave linen but fully hand stitched using 102/2 linen thread.
 This would enable me to understand how the pattern worked and give me a rough estimate of construction time. While making the shirt I started keeping a tally of how long it took and also estimate the cost of making the shirt based on UK minimum wage, £6.08/$9.7per hour.
 The shirt took over a week and I lost count of time spent and gave up on the labour cost estimate when it reached £300/$478,2
