Projects full steam ahead

[alysten]

I am making progress on those projects that do not require a sewing machine. Unfortunately, the sewing machine pile is bigger than the non sewing machine pile. I will have to plow through that stuff in June/July. That's when I should be able to sit at the machine without my foot swelling to the size of Canada. Also the risk of sewing through my fingers due to a dilauded induced haze should be greatly reduced.

Sooper sekrit project 1: Embroidery complete. Fabric cut. Appliques applied. Gold work in progress.  Pictures eventually.

Web site: Under construction/development. Scatter art acquired.  Ombudsman intervening. Beta testers secured.

Griff's shirt: cuff one is done and is very pretty.  Silver work in progress.  Hand stitching after measurement to commense. Material washed and ready to cut.

Queen's doublet: tabs ready to be attached and finish work completed.  This will probably be a train project on the way to roses.

Marion: Material ordered, some linen washed ready to be ironed.

Cat: Material washed. Muslin ready for draping

Ian: Fabric painted with happy green ermine dots.  Ready for cutting.

Matt: ah the new pants. I have flame pattern designed and ready for fabric transfer.

All other projects fit into the sewing machine/draping bucket. And require me to sit at a tall table for long periods of time or stand on my feet for long periods of time.  Either of which is a "bad idea" at the moment.

You asked on the Lurk-List about custom period shoes.
If you want period construction, there are a couple;
Armlann
Dru's Shoes

If you want sneakers with a vaguely historical appearance,, there are several "ren faire boot" makers who
can make the shape you prefer with a rubber soled shoe.
