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.

Not I, but...

My apprentice has voice a hankering for one of these. She bought a Viking/Huskvarna embroidery machine just so she could do similar things. I think that if you want one, you should have one. It seems like something that would look gorgeous for mundane evening wear if you never wear it in the SCA!
