I finished Valeria's Elonora di Toledo skirt

 More (and larger) photos and info in my costuming blog, but here's one photo of the finished hem.



I then did 20 minutes on my exercise bike and now I really ought to go to work. Still feeling slightly sick from the methotrexate, but that won't stop me lecturing of course.

Tried on the bodice today and had to take it in (by adding a dart on each side of the front piece, I'm not re-making any eyelets) a little at the waist, but not at all at the bust. I have now started to attach the skirt in the back by hand, since it's so heavy that I prefer sturdy waxed linen thread there. I also noticed when she tried it on that the shoulder seams of the camicia are visible, so I probably should make that embrodiery too. Maybe work on it at Kingdom University in the Netehrlands this weekend.

I keep hearing from people who have taken it that methotrexate can be really unpleasant. Hope the yuck passes soon.
