Temptations

[frualeydis]

I wonder, is there anybody but me who feels sorely tempted to make one of these embroidered elizabethan jackets?
Drea Leed has made a jacket of patterned upholstery fabric and Kass McGann has made
one from embroidered fabric. They look great both of them, but I would like to embroider it myself. Is this a sign of insanity?
Anyway it won't be done before I find out which size I'm going to have, so it'll be a year before I even start. But as said, I'm sorely tempted and have borrowed some books with pictures of embroidered jackets today.

Oh, and no baby today either. Yesterday I thought something migh thappen in the next few days, but now everything is back to normal again.

I really shouldn't be making elizabethan stuff either, because I actually don't think the 16th century is a part of the middle ages and Nordrike, where I'm mostly active, is medieval group, even though we have the same time frame as the SCA.
And I have all this very thin changeable silk taffeta I'm going to make bliauts from, so why should I even plan to make 16th century?
Because it looks so damn good I guess.
