My friend anna's birthday was last saturday (which we spent at Kentwell). I had somehow got the idea that it was in september and thought I would have time to make her birthday present before the actual event. Well I didn't, but I've started working on it now. It's a petticoat in burgundy linen with a forepart in dark red brocade sewn to it and a matching pair of tudor sleeves. Then she won't be able to get away from making a Tudor from her silver-grey brocade based on this portrait. She says she can't do it unless she finds some suitable red brocade and even if this brocade doesn't have the same pattern it will look nice. The silver grey brocade has a smaller pattern than the original anyway. But it will look fabulous. Now I just have to do it.
