isabelladangelo...that I have to do before the end of the year. I cut out the Viking last night over at a friends house. Everyone was giggling. "Isabella's cutting out a early stuff?" Well, until they realized I was doing the multi-piecing period cuts and then they gave me the "You are no fun look" :-)
So, Viking and Gothic Fitted gown are both on the list. I need to get both done by the end of the MONTH. Fun. Actually, It shouldn't be too bad as long as I cut a bunch of patterns out this weekend and then I can sew through out the week.
The Viking (or Norse if you prefer): I have the brooches. They look kinda like the Pitney Brooch and were originally a sweater clasp. I need to finish adding the beads but it should work. The dress is a blue linen and the apron is the pretty red/white crossweave.
The Gothic Fitted Gown: Technically, I making two. I want to make one just to make sure it will fit right and then the other "real" one. The psuedo-mock up will be out of some linen look red cotton linen in green cotton. I have a gazillion silver buttons (somewhere! I can't remember where I put them!) that will go up the front. I'm not bothering with the sleeves on this one. I'm not worried about my arms looking right through the day. :-)
The "real" one will be out of the lavender linen and lined in the pale blue linen I was trying to bleach to white earlier this year. I'll use the silver buttons on that one too. I also have some purple wool that goes gorgeously. I'm making the pin on sleeves out of that and the hood. All and all, it should come out okay (as long as I make the red/green one first! ...maybe I should wear THAT to Holiday Faire...might still make the ever after before then - yes, three gowns in three weeks!- and have either Mom or Kat wear it...teehee...)
So, that's my sewing update for now.
