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 [...]
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 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 [...]
It’s not FINISHED finished, but it is all assembled. And suffering from “looks better on a person than the dress form” disease, but you will get the idea.
For this gown, I tried something new in terms of the neckline – I made bias tape and finished the neckline with it. Since it’s a keyhole neckline, I had to miter the corners, and I even did it correctly on the first try! (Hooray, I get to pass ninth grade geometry!)
In general, I like [...]
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 [...]
This evening I cut out HRH’s gown and put together the front & back panels with their gores, cut the neckline, and assembled the sleeves. OK, when I write it that way, it doesn’t seem like all that much for two hours of work. The cutting took me about half an hour. As I was [...]
