Sewing meeting

[frualeydis]

We had a sewing meeting at my place yesterday, but only Anna came. That was just as well since Maja had been waking up every hour all night and both Rickard and I were totally exhausted. We tried to watch Pirates of the Caribbean while she made shoes (for me!!) and I cut a sleeveless surcoat for my murrey c. 1300 ensemble. You can see the cotte here if you haven't already, but I'm going to make two surcoats for it, one with sleeves and one without, a cloak and a hood. All from the same fabric and lined with white silk. The inspiration for this monochromatic ensemble is the trousseau of Isabella de Bruce from 1293 (for some reason the formatting of the document seems to be broken, it did not look like this before and I assume it will get fixed).
I didn't cut the lining, but I will probably do that today.
Maja slept better this night, but I'm still tired.

I was going, but got too tired (probably from working out on Monday - I was a bit stiff and sore as well).

What colour is the surcoat to be, if you don't mind the question?
