After ages and ages… Catlin’s riding tunic is done. She even put it in the Pennsic A&S display for me. The fashion layer is lightweight wool that Catlin dyed – I don’t know the details, maybe she can fill us in. The lining is medium-weight linen, and it’s hand-sewn with linen thread. Documentation is here.
Scottish Fest Demo is Saturday. (Come out and play! It’s oodles of fun!) None of Shoshanna’s clothes fit her (mostly in the length). Logic dictates that at 10:15 on Wednesday night I’m digging around in the fabric that Honnoria gifted me with to make clothes for the kid because I can’t for the life of [...]
A couple of months ago Countess Ilish asked me if I’d be willing to teach something about 13th century clothes at really low-key event she was putting together. I said yes, of course, and used it as the motivation to finally finish my handout on how to make braies, which you can now see here. [...]
Pooh Tunics are DONE.
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 [...]

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 [...]
Go here for a first draft of the hosen handout. I’d appreciate feedback on it – I’ll be using it for a class at Have Fun Storming the Castle in a couple of weeks.
Construction is done, seams are finished except for the seam/armhole finish on one side. It is not as long on her as I’d hoped (it just hits the floor right now) but it is PLENTY big around – so much so that I’m going to be pleating in the tops of the gores; I think [...]
Shoshanna and I will be at Aethelmearc coronation next weekend, and we’re counting on the weather being coolish. Since her brown flannel tunic is getting too small on her and I’m not sure that the cotton smock, red linen tunic, and coat will not be enough. I had been intending to make her a tunic [...]
