mmcnealyOK, here is a listing of all of my current projects, current as defined as actually drafting a pattern or accomplishing productive work on it besides doing research or doodles. Planned projects usually involve lots of doodles, possible (ok usually) purchasing fabric, saved URL's for inspiration and doing research about the article.
Things for me in progress
-Effigy corset, one of the fronts has the channels sewn.
-Enn's gown, I just need to buckle down and get the outer fabric cut, but when?
-1583 Italian shipwreck barrett, knitting project that I can work on at work, the bus, etc
-Farthingale, another one of those "I just need to sit down and start sewing", the ropes are "this" close to being started to be sewn in.
Planned projects for me... Sort of an endless list.
- Green silk and black vevet doublet. Fabric: Currently being shipped
- A couple more linen smocks so I have clean ones Fabric: I have some, but not enough.
- Several knock'um dead authentic outfits for ren faires this summer. I am portraying a upper-mid middle class German merchants wife. I gotta look good, but not too nobly and not to poor. Something that says 'I have money and good taste, but those darn sumptrary laws are keeping me in check' The good news is that I am using German sumptuary laws and those allow more silk and velvet than the English ones.
Other things
- Lots of hats and other things for sale at the guild booth in September.
Things for my sister Elizabth, who I have promissed to outfit for a Ren Faire the last weekend in June.
-Effigy corset, must be completed by Mother's day weekend so I can get measurements for the dress.
Planned projects for Elizabeth, must be done by last weekend in June
-Smock, sleevless. Fabric - Linen, already purchased
-Shirt or partlet. If I can find cool looking embroidered linen or silk, she's getting a shirt. If I just use plain linen, got it; Otherwise _must_buy_more_fabric... Nooooo! Hehehe
-Petticote, fabric: need to buy it, or use something I already own that is in the bins downstairs.
-Caul and hat
-Dress, based on one of the ones from the wedding at Bermondsey painting. I am using a pattern from Alcega to make it. Its not going to have a split skirt, I personally don't like that style and lean more in the direction of the German and Italian influences when it comes to skirt styles, so no split skirts for her. Besides, then I would have to make a forepart or find another piece of fabric that we both liked. Fabric: light green drapery mystery fabric that I bought for curtains a couple of years ago. Obviously it never made it into curtains. The color looks fantastic on her.
