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.

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…
Tellerbarret and Goldhaube

Feathers have gold bits at the end possibly beads(?). I want the square points to extend almost all the way to the outside of…

Since I’m deathly allergic to altering garments that I need to wear I instead decided to make a new hemd. Here’s my new pattern: Here’s the reasoning for my new pattern: Problem: Neckline was cut out…
Ari’s Dress ToDo

Sew all along the outside edge of the placket and turn it inside out. Press it flat and then hand finish the last bit. (done) Sew the bottom of all of the outer bodice pieces and…
Patterning done
A few weeks ago I patterned Ari in some scrap linen. Tonight I traced Ari’s pattern onto poster board and added seam allowance. All pieces got seam allowance of 1/2 inch on all sides and the placket also got an addition 1 inch on each side to accommodate the overlap. Now I’ll wash all the dress fabric (which I should…
