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 on. These take almost two yards…

Pictures or it never happened
I ended up sewing together the hat and parts of the sleeves on the road-trip to Montana.. and after the wedding I ended up sewing on two more buttons before Coronet.. but it looked lovely. At Nate and Dusty’s wedding 5/21/2011:
Beltane 2011 Post Mortem
I day-tripped Beltane. That trip turned out to be much shorter than I remembered it.. it only took about two hours to drive up there.. it took longer than it should have because I noticed my “low fuel” light had flashed on when I was half way up the mountain. I could probably have made it onto and off of…
Blue and Black Sleeves
Sleeves What I see Blue and black sleeves. The blue matches the dress and the black appears to be the same as the guarding on the bodice. The blue is slashed and bubbles along the arm. White (probably linen) pokes out of the slashing in the blue. The black is tight to the arm. Right arm has 7 bubbles(4 below…

The great fabric cull has begun. My stash is bulging and it’s time to clear some of this stuff out. Send questions to: Sylvie@fibergeek.com. Shipping and handling will be added to purchases where the fabric needs to be mailed. I will be attending West Kingdom Beltane and I’m willing to bring the fabric there.
Mists Spring Coronet 2011 Post Mortem
I day-tripped to Mists Coronet. Fearghus has Saturday classes for the next month or so and it’s just easier to day-trip than to all-out camp. I’d be tempted to skip the events.. except that I’m on multiple overlapping courts and I do want to be as helpful as I possibly can be. The day was won by Miles Fitz-Rauf fighting…
