The 30th of September I made a sewing list in my journal. Three months later I though it would be interesting to see what I've done. There were originally 11 things on this list, although some of them were scheduled not to be made before summer, so that they would still fit my fast growing girls when they actually should use them.

I have either finished or made quite a lot of the following five projects:

* A Herjolfsnes dress of dark green handwoven wool. Hand sewn. DONE! No pictures yet.
I had intended to make it with long sleeves but ran out of fabric so I made the sleeves elbow length. This makes me think that I need to buy handwoven wool for a under dress too. If the top layer is so authentic, shouldn't the middle layer be that too? I want to use a plain weave with linen warp and wool weft, but it's 100$/meter and I will need four meters. Too expensive right now at least.

* Hoods to Valeria and Vendela of handwoven wool, also hand sewn. DONE! and can be wieved here

* Loose kirtle for my 16th century flemish dress. UNDERWAY. New update with picture of the decorative bands.

* A very pale green chainse, which is my first try where the fabric is pleated finely to a band around the neck. I haven't attached sleeves yet. Entirely hand sewn. DONE! No pictures yet.

* A red 12th century dress of a little heavier wool to wear at winter events. It will be in the "bliaut-style" with sidelacing and long hanging sleeves. DONE! No pictures yet.
