people in nost!

I will take a short recess. Be back in an hour at most I hope.

waves Heya.

hi!

So. Cold. Out. There.

BRB.....kidstuff

I did not leave the house today!

I worked on a dress

like a fool, I am finishing the neckline by hand

But it is all cut & serged, sleeves are lined, gores are pieced, and neckline facing is in, if not finished

not bad for an on & off day

You are crazy productive woman!

Super excited about sleeves

What period is it?

the fabric is a dark green/black/gold plaid wool

oh, I almost always do Longshanks, so - late 13th/early 14th

Ooooh, nice.

I lined the sleeves with a remnant of gold silk

they have 3 foot tippets!

I may or may not put in fitchets

but I am mostly excited about using wool. It's a winter event.

Yes.

I wish I had ANY clue about making clothes. I have a sewing machine.....

I once made a full wedding dress pattern in fleece for a winter (not SCA) event. It was WAY too hot for the well-heated hall.

I hand sew.

Buttons.

Boy-tears.

well, this is nothing fancy

no toile, no pattern

Define 'fancy'....

mostly rectangles and triangles

................

I have some later 14th things - curved seams

but none of them fit since I lost weight, and I haven't made a new toile

Ok, I can see those as harder. Yes.

The sewing is actually easier - but patterning is trickier

Have we covered that I can sew on buttons? *G*

I'm about at Shady's level. I did manage to make a nice few apron dresses and chemises....but then I outgrew them. Sideways.

I have the opposite problem

still sad about gold dress

Don't want to take it apart

Took apart a few things in my pennsic pile, but a lot of it is designed to be tentish.

I'm definitely in the layers-of-tunics-and-belt brigade.

I like dresses

though pennsic sees a lot of "pretty tube with pins"

Bog dresses!

yup

rainbow party chiton!

...which I did not get a picture of
