Sewing for Vendela and Valeria

[frualeydis]

Yesterday they tried on their old medieval clothing, most of it sewn 2008, some of it in 2007 even. Except for that the sleeves were short they could wear quite a lot of it so in the end I "only" need to make one shift for them each, an every day dress (which will be a gothic fitted dress) and a court dress (which will be 16th century Saxon gown) for Vendela and two pairs of stockings for Valeria. I haven't started thinking about Maja's new clothing yet, but except for shifts I think that she needs everything new.

Just wondering.... At what point will Maja be able to start wearing Valeria and Valenda's outgrown garb?

About now. She will use Vendela's and Valeria's shifts from when they were seven this summer. I had to put in new sleeves though, since they were stick thin and she's normal. She alos uses their cloaks. The main reason she hasn't used a lot of their clothing is that I wasn't as good back then as I am now so the thigns made before say 2000 just aren't up tp my current standard.

I didn't bring them along as much either, so there are periods in their lives from which I don't have any garb.
