This 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.

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.
