Garb crunch!
Jul. 15th, 2005 06:45 pmAnd lo!
fosveny did say, make me garb, for I needeth such, and so it was done, and he saw it to be good.
Okay, not really. But he _did_ say 'y'know, I know I have enough garb to get through Pennsic, but I really want enough _authentic_ garb to make it through Pennsic. I know you don't like using the machine, but I don't mind the thing. Can you cut some stuff out for me, and I'll sew it up? I'll even try using the linen thread in the machine.'
I can deal with that. Though I think I'm going to ask him to hold off on finishing the seams, so I can do that by hand later. Maybe get him to help some, too; we'll have all winter.
So now I have cut out and ready to sew:
1 red wool hood, fulled up pretty thick
1 red linen tunic
1 blue linen tunic (very light fabric, will probably be really comfortable)
1 maroon silk noil tunic (I know, but it's a smooth enough silk noil that it'll look like a light wool sorta)
And I will likely be cutting out:
1 or 2 red wool tunics, out of summerweight wool
several linen undertunics, either out of the 5.5 I have now, or 3.5 if we can find it at Jo-Mar this weekend.
I still have for myself:
1 pr. blue wool full hosen (cut, not started)
1 cote, maroon wool lined in yellow linen (cut except for collar, sewn up to the point where I need to put in the collar)
1 cote, blue wool with white linen lining, lovely 3.5 (cut, not started; not even going to try it for Pennsic)
1 demi-houp, blue wool with red linen lining (mostly cut, still need to finish sleeve pattern; not even going to try it for Pennsic)
I still want to cut out for myself, and finish before Pennsic:
several (likely 3) linen undertunics, as above
I'm nuts. Right?
