I seem to have a huge pile of projects all in the works at once right now… not that I mind, it’s just a little crazy.
I’m sending an A&S display item to Crown even though we’re not going. That will be Matatias’ brown riding tunic – I had to do some mending on it last night because the topstitching on the neckline had broken in one place, but it’s repaired & washed. I need to check/update the docs for it, though.
I’m also working on Caleb’s rapier armor. It’s going to be my usual 2-layer undergarment with a fashion layer overgarment. He has chosen brown with black bands for the fashion layer and white for the undergarments. His hosen will be black as well. I cut a bunch of bias bands for the trim last night. When we get to the point that I’m going to drape his hosen pattern, I think I’m going to turn it into a workshop – Alicia wants to see how I do them and at that point we might as well just have a bunch of people over. It’s not like I don’t have the handouts for it!
Finally, I’m working on Catlin’s riding tunic. I’m repeating the seaming technique I used on the first riding tunic, only without whip-stitching the fashion and lining fabrics together first. So far I have done about 6″ of seam on one set of gores. I couldn’t find my wax last night so it wasn’t going as fast as I would have liked. My GOAL is to have that done by Pennsic so it can be displayed and then delivered to her there.
ETA: Heh, I forgot that I also have a tunic of His Majesty’s to do some work on. Thank goodness for my handy to-do list, eh?
