What are going to do today Brain?

The same thing we do every Sunday Pinky. Try to outfit the entire Eastern Rapier Army!

Today is applique Sunday. I am working on heraldic device construction and a Swabian gown applique design (this one's going to take time and work but I finally have a design in mind). I have decided that I hate the heraldic animals. Too many swoops, swooshes and flarey bits. But they look awesome when they are done, they just take 2x longer than say cannons and muskets and salamanders. But here are the works in progress for today.

Sleeve of cassock for Griff:

FYI: That's ermine printed fabric of linen/cotton blend 5.3 oz.  You can get custom printed fabrics here.  I was NOT going to paint white ermines on black fabric.  It was too much of a pain in the ass when I did Ian's hood. Customer service was pretty good.

Sleeve of cote for Larry:

Yes, I have a nefarious idea for the Swabian embroidery for Golden Seamstress that I have to run by you at some time.

Cool beans. I am multitasking. Your Swabian is coming at the perfect time as I have to do another one for our Coronation Apr 2. I love when I get a 2 for one. :D

Thank you for that link - I may need to show that to Ryan.... :)

Does he have ermines too? Because Ian already has a pattern done, and might be able to just upload a new color if needed.
