alystenThis weekend was amazingly productive. I got a lot of stuff done for Pennsic including getting the house clean. A good amount of sewing was completed, and I am getting to the point where I am down to just finishing things off in the car (buttons, buttonholes, lacing holes, etc...).
It was great having people over Sat for project day. Spinpsychology and I tackled Woodwindy's kirtle and under kirtle for some minor alterations. There was a lot of fabric. Miss Mina was a big help in getting her tunics measured. I got the first batch of cookies made for taking to Pennsic. The group decreed they don't suck.
Unicornpearlz now has a properly fitting pattern for bodices, and was able to complete 2 + under and overskirt this weekend (YAY productivity). I couldn't let her wear the new outfit without a properl fitting shirt, and I had one already cut out... So as she worked on gathering 5 yards of fabric into a fitted waist band, I worked on her shirt (it has frilly bits).
And the major accomplishment for the weekend is I have become the queen of the gussets. Now that I am remembering to put them in BEFORE I attach sleeve to shirt. I "heart" gussets.
Project completions:
Mina: 2 toddler tunics, 2 toddler under tunics and 2 toddler tabbards.
Jane: 1 Elizabethan shirt
Malcolm: 1 fencing shirt, 1 cut out
Melchior: stripey fencing doublet
Alterations:
Sabine: over kirtle, under kirtle
Melchior: fencing shirt
HRM: Waffenrok
Patterns:
Jane- bodice
Griff- captain's coat
Menu:
Chicken stuffed with herb goat cheese
Peas
Alfredo risotto
Chocolate chip cookies
Random:
I had a spectacularly great needle break while working on Matt's waffenrok.
Zot sup-vizin', as only Zot's can.
Am ready for Pennsic? Are you out of your mind? I won't begin to expand on the list of what still has to be done/finished. But I have 3.5 days until pencils down. And even then, I will be doing finishing work, prior to wearage.
It's tradition.
