What is one thing you haven't made in your chosen craft(s) that you would love to be able to make someday? This should be something you *think* is way to difficult for you to make now, but you hope to be able to get to a level to be able to make it someday. For me, it's one of the knitted early 17th c jacket. My knitting is slowly getting better but something like that is way way far in the future. I just love the colors and the design of it...and I think I could edit it enough to make it look really late 16th c rather than early 17th. :-)

Date: 2008-05-27 12:17 am (UTC)My problem is usually not having the skills, but having the funds for the materials to get there. Like I know I have the skills to make a handsewn Elizabethan outfit (or my dream Regency knitted lace dress), given enough patience and research time, but the thought of spending the hundreds of dollars I'd need to buy all the fabric and thread and boning intimidates me. That might all be a separate issue, though.
That said, my embroidery is definitely subpar. I've got satin stitch down and I can backstitch and make French knots, so that takes care of like 75-percent of the skills, but it could all be so much neater. My chainstitch would probably make a better embroiderer recoil in horror.
I guess that means I'd really like to embroider a version of the Margaret Laton jacket at the V&A someday, or something similar to the one embroidered by the Attack Laurel. Because, you know, pink!
I'd also really like to learn how to make bobbin lace. I know that drawn-thread work is not to my taste and buttonhole lace is boring to me.
