I started on my turkish coat...

Yes, I know. I have to do the ever after court gown and the pink 1560's Italian wool gown yet but there is a Middle Eastern SCA event this coming Sat so I have to dress the part. :-) I cut out the muslin and it looks like it should fit perfectly. I'm basing the coat off of a couple of extant examples with a curved side rather than a gored side. This allows for more room under the arms (around the bust line) and still has a tight waist. I think I'm going to use the melon colored linen I bought. I thought I had a nice deep orangy-pink linen but I can't find it. I'll look again tomorrow.

After this, it's either the Ever After gown or the Italian wool followed by the Katherine Parr/Jane Grey gown and then the fitted gothic gown...and then there's the blue courtesan gown I want to make for Pennsic (anything that has skirts that can be lifted and you wear breeches underneath is great for Pennsic), a high German gown, and a few more Italian gowns...and coats...There's that heraldry gown I want to make too...

and this and this and the other thing....haha...

I need to get cracking on my stuff myself. I'm in the market for more cloth. Also, I bought machine quilting purple thread at fantastic price on ebay -- I know because I saw it in two stores...for my quilt I have to make AFTER I figure out this neck hemming thing...

::grins evilly:: come over. I'm getting rid of more cloth.

Actually, I'm supposed to be going through it right now rather than typing away at the computer...

I played in a recital today. Maybe next weekend, Sat or something?

Yay! Glad you're planning on going to this. But isn't it a week from Sat?

That is, if it's the Dun Carriag event you're talking about. It's 2/17 so you actually have one more weekend before the event

Woohoo! You're right! Oh well, I'll just keep telling myself it's this weekend and then I can't procrastinate as much. :-)
