This is my most recent sewing list, written in the beginning of January. Let's see what happened:
ClothingA new mid 13th century dress, since I shrunk the old one.
Done, and can be seen hereA green hand sewn bliaut in changeable habotai silk. I'm working on it and need to attach a sleeve and the skirt and reinforce the side opening and make lacing holes. Yes, it's going to one of the holy debated bliauts with pleated skirts.
Finished, pictures hereFinish the flemish gown dammit!
Done, except for the girdle. A picture hereA new 12th c chainse in pale pink linen. Hand sewn.
Done, and worn with the green bliautA high necked smock, 16th century. Hand sewn.
Also finishedFinish the totally insane high-necked smock project
On a stand-still, since I can't be bothered to draw the pattern. Yes I'm lazy.A 13th c spanish saya from red wool crepe.
The spanish project is on hold, if not cancelled, and the fabric has been re-designated to a 12th century tunic for my husbandA 13th c. pellote from a purple and light green cotton patterned twill
See above. No new use for this fabric though.A linen shift for my 13th c. spanish garb
See above. I may use the linen for a new 12th c. chainse.Remake a dark teal early 14th c. surcoat (with sleeves) into a tudor gown.
Not started, but I definitely am going to do it.A dark green early 14th century surcoat with sleeves and standing collar for Rickard.
Not started, but will get done.Knee-length 13th c. tunic for Rickard.
See above.A semi-circular cloak from blue wool with a lining of changeable habotai silk in orange and green and an embroidered band along the straight edge for Rickard.
The cloak is finished, but I'm working on the embroidered band.A buttoned hood in light periwinkle wool, lined with berry red habotai for me.
Done, and I have a picture to prove it.A blue early 14th c. cotte for me. Hand sewn. Same wool as Rickard's cloak.
Still in the planning stageA medium green early 14th c. surcoat with 7/8 sleeves in fulled wool for me. Probably hand sewn.
Still in the planning stageA blue oval silk veil.
The actual veil is done, but I'm working on putting an edge on it in gold thread with button hole stitch.A new corset based on the one in Patterns of fashion, to replace my old one made from the instructions on the Elizabethan costuming page. It will be hand sewn and made from linen and silk, not just linen as my old one.
Finished and looking pretty. Unfortunately it's no way near as comfortable as the effigy corset wasTake in my "effigy" corset. Hooray! This will be interesting.
I've given up on that idea and will eventually make a new effigy corset.
Take in my 18th century corset which also will provide some challenges. It now meets in the back and is a bit loose.
I've given up on that idea and will eventually make a new 18th century corset.
Finish my 18th century costume
In your dreams..A new doublet for Rickard.
Not on the priority list anymoreFix the codpiece+canions on his paned slops.
Not on the priority list anymoreMake sleeves for my purple dress
And make
this forepart.
It is still on my wish list, but will probably not be done soon.Not too bad I think. There is still time left this year. Of course my plans are changed some I will make a new sewing list later.
