Based on the pretty pictures from Attack_laurel's earlier posting

These are just a collection of ones I like for various reasons.

Elizabeth Honeywood. This is one that attack_laurel posted but I really like it for the overskirt. The spiderweb lace design seems to be popular in the early 17th c. The same type of skirt is found on this portrait of an unknown lady. There's a bigger picture of her, showing the red velvet underskirt better, in Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe....I think.

This jacket is just really nice looking. It's fairly simple (not that any of the embroidered jackets are simple, just this one is a more simplistic looking ivy pattern) and elegant looking.

I like this one of Catherine Parr just for the pink sleeves and green dress. Given the red underskirt/forepart, it's clearly pink facing on the sleeves.

This unknown lady's dress is just amazing. I think it's just the contrast and how the lace is what really makes the dress elegant along with the richness in color.

Anyway, some fun for much later this year or next.

Sewing stuff

I'll try to finish up the sleeves tomorrow. I forgot something and need it before I start the beading to the sleeves.

I'm almost finished with a corset I started tonight. I decided during the middle of House that I just needed a new corset. I would have finished it if it were for the bobbin running out of thread. I'll probably finish it in the morning.

I'm going to have a lot of simple handsewing projects I'll finish at Pennsic. Almost all of it is just eyelets which is why I'm holding off on those. Eyelets can be done at Pennsic. Resizing and adding various trims can't. Or at least not as easily as eyelets can be added.

I finished 7 or so more Atlantian Mullets tonight. Woohoo!
