Diary started Feb 23, 2010. Summary German dresses are lovely.. but if you leave your tata’s uncovered they’re going to get cold. I’ve wanted to make a Gollar for a long time. A Gollar is a short, sometimes fur-lined cape sometimes with a collar worn over many of the German [...]
Fearghus at Beltane 2012 Diary started Nov 13, 2011. Summary Fearghus is on the guard for TRH Uther and Kara. They are stepping up in “late period” and have asked their court and guard to match their colors (black and grey). Fearghus mentioned he would really like a new Waffenrock for [...]  Note the lack of support of my girls. Must fix. In June, when I got home, I made a mockup of my bodice pattern out of some heavy cotton I had for patterning and I fiddled with it until I got rid of the looseness. BUT then I had to prep for Pennsic.. and as much as I love the Blue dress, there’s no way that I’d be able to wear a heavy wool dress at Pennsic (90+ F degrees humid in Pennsylvania). So the blue dress went on the back burner. Jump forward 3 months.. it’s now post-Pennsic and I’ve decided I want to wear the blue dress at October Crown. OMG PENNSIC! Most important lessons:
My pictures from Pennsic.  An Tir-West War 2011 Originally we weren’t going to A/W War. Because of the costs of fixing our kitty’s broken leg we really couldn’t afford to pay for the gas to drive 8.5 hours up and 8.5 hours back for the war.

Their Majesties were a HOOT as travelling companions. Chafing Dish – Brazier Museum of London Surrey/Hampshire border redware chafing dish vertical [...] I’ve spent quite a while thinking about this and finally set to work on this a few night ago. I have a bodice which I’ve used for my german gowns. That bodice ends at around the bottom of my ribs. I fiddled with this pattern and extended it down so that the bodice [...] Diary started June 23, 2011 Summary Once upon a very long time ago I made and wore a cotehardie. Unfortunately I don’t think the cotehardie is particularly flattering on me. After the yellow cotehardie I wore a lot of basic tunics.. and finally started making German gowns. The [...] For literally YEARS I’ve been meaning to make some braies. Now, finally I figured out a pattern and got a chance to wear my test pair at an event last weekend. In a word.. they’re made of win.. in two words.. win and AWESOME!! Seriously. I will never go to another event without braies [...]
With only 6 weeks to go I think I have an overly ambitious to-do list. Ah well.. I’ll make progress where I can. |
