frualeydisI managed to hem the maroon dress, (or is it more eggplant-coloured? I hate names for colours, especially in foreign languages) yesterday. What I have left to do is the neck opening and the sleeves, including hand sewn buttonholes and cloth buttons made like the finds from 14th c London, like these. (The dress on the picture is new at "Historiska varldar" and made by my talented friend Julia. You can see it here My wool is very thin so I will have to fill the buttons with wool scraps, with heavier wool you don't need that.
I also tried on a linen tunic I made for Maja. It will fit, at least the coming weeks, but I will make bigger tunics for Visby. Because we are going!! We will have to dig into some money I got as a scholarship to finish my dissertation, but I don't care, because we're going! I know it will be fun, especially since this is the first time since 1998 that our camp and the SCA camp will be in the same place. Since I used to be in the SCA before the split in 1995 I still have friends there and I've really missed living next to them. The last years I've had to rely on running into them in town, which is a bit chancy.
It's raining and very grey outside. It makes me feel sleepy.
