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! :)
I entered Caleb’s armor into Baronial A&S Championships last weekend. It’s done except for the hosen.

… when I step away from a project for a while.
I got the mauve gown out to work on it during textile guild Tuesday night. I’m in the process of attaching the side gores… so I merrily seamed the one that was pinned to the body panel and then moved on to sewing the two [...]
Remember the award medallions that I was embroidering on and displayed at Pennsic? I finally got around to starting to make them into actual medallions last night.
I was taught how to make award medallions aeons ago, one evening sitting around in the barn with a bunch of people at Great Northeastern War. I actually [...]
I’m working on a portfolio for Aethelmearc Kingdom A&S Championships and one of the items that I’m putting in the portfolio is the Pelican cushion I embroidered in … A.S. 37. So here are some good pictures of it, which I didn’t have before.
The ground fabric is scrap linen from my first set of 13th [...]
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 [...]
