Pooh Tunics are DONE.
Her Majesty’s Pooh Tunic: > 3/4 assembled (one side complete, the other not).
His Majesty’s Pooh Tunic: 1/2 to assembled.
TRM came by on Monday to check necklines (I’m soooo paranoid about necklines) and a good thing, too, because I need to put bigger gussets in His Majesty’s sleeves.
If I am a good little worker bee I [...]
This pile of “Pooh” colored linen (Shoshanna’s color-description, not mine) is destined to be tunics for TRM, to be worn either solo or under their Viking overlayers. To be done by Pennsic (eep!). Good thing I’m machine-sewing them! :)
Several months ago I agreed to put front & back gores in an otherwise-finished tunic for HRM Maynard. It’s something I’ve done lots of times but I had never been totally satisfied with how it came out. I can DO it, I just don’t LIKE it.
Then Tasha posted her instructions for setting a gore in [...]
I entered Caleb’s armor into Baronial A&S Championships last weekend. It’s done except for the hosen.
Read more here.
Did I get your attention?
Here are Caleb’s braies. I did them in the “quick and dirty” style – a wide center panel with legs attached, as pictured here. This is how I did braies when I first started making them – they give the right impression, ESPECIALLY when worn with hosen, but are pretty fast [...]
I did a quick drive-by at practice tonight to let Caleb try on his fencing undergarment and to deliver his braies. The undertunic is put together pretty much the same way as Shoshanna’s coat – this was not my initial intention but I messed up the math on the gores so that they didn’t reach [...]
Tall Child wants me to make her a 13th century riding tunic. The fashion layer will be the purple wool in the middle of this picture; the lining will be either the periwinkle blue on the right or white.
C, what do you think? What does the peanut gallery think?
I finished hemming HRH’s gown last night and wrestled the layers together and onto the dress form for a photo shoot.
It lies so much better with the underdress filling it out – the fashion fabric is very drapey, so it looked kinda weird all by its lonesome.
I did recycle my seam finishing error on the [...]
The fabric that I’m working with is still annoying, and the results are still beautiful. I have the neckline finished (stay tuned for a post just about the neckline, once I’ve taken pictures of it), both sleeves put in, and the gores and side seam done on one side. There’s a LOT of skirt, and [...]
