Sigh...

Some one remind me that while I love doing stripey outfits, I detest working with diagonals. They waste more fabric, it is critical that you get all the stripes facing the same way, and they take a craptastic load of time to get right.   And the next time I want to do a quartered cote with diagonals, some one remind me I'm insane.

Right now I am letting the fabric just sit. If I try to to work with it now, I am afraid I am going to f@ck up.  And I just got all the pieces pieced and cut. Sometimes the best option is to just walk away and let a project sit.  In the mean time the four panels of painted stags are done and the lining is cut.  Everyhting is ready for assembly tomorrow evening.  I am debating whether to do a crenelated black border at the bottom of the cote.

Other project updates:
One of oaken_glen's under kirtles was completed.
Argent_tyger's cassock is now the proud owner of 60 odd buttons.
HRM fencing doublet is also button enabled.
IanRaven's cote inner lining constructed.

Pictures tomorrow, promise.

I emailed you again about the e-publishing proposal. Did it come through to you?

Yes. I have not done anything with that yet as I needed to get sewing done before Pennsic.

13 years in the SCA and I have 5 irish peasent dresses anda few skirts that fit. Who knew that gaining 1 inch and 1 cup in the bust would kill all my other garb. ALL OF IT. And I'm not sewing more before this war. Nope! It's sad, I've gotten to the point where I want to look good but am tired of putting out the funds and the time for something I'm just going to out grow in 6 months.
