Post Pennsic Projects

[isabelladangelo]

I was going through my fabric stash last night. I wanted to see if I had enough of the black wool I made the sleeves of my very mis-matched doublet to make a jacket out of. Turns out there isn't enough for a full jacket but there is enough for a pair of bodies...
In going through that, I also found my so-dark-blue-it's-black wool. I have 4 yards left and it's tropical weight. I'm thinking late Italian working woman, with red velvet trim? And a red wool jacket?

I also need to get started on the Bellatrix LeStrange outfit before September. So, the second I get back from Pennsic, I need to make that outfit.

And, of course, there is the 12th Night gown. I think I have enough dead rabbits (old fur coats, most of them look 1960's) to make the lining for the Catherine Parr/Jane Grey dress. I have the rest of the materials...it's just a matter of me sewing up dead rabbits to make the dress. (This way, no need for a cloak! Yes, it might get hot inside wearing all of that but that's why God invented the farthingale. Plus, I'll just wear my corset underneath. If it gets too hot, I'll just take the darned dress off!)
