I am able to get around a bit better, but slower. I had the Earl bring up the sewing machines for me so that I could get some work done.

I am working on a Maroon Velveteen and Gold Diamond  Elizabethan ensemble for Kathryn Fae Weldon. . I have all  the contrast fabric pearled. The hanging sleeves are cut out, as are the shoulder rolls, over-the-bodice-Partlet. I hope to get the Underskirt finished wirhin the weekend. The corset is ready to go to the Shoe Repair for grommetting on Monday. Progress pictures as they get taken.

[DonaCatalina]

Glad to hear you're doing better.
Can't wait to see the new outfits.

My finished ensemble.

I ended up putting the grommets in the night before faire.  Good thing they don't take long!

[Lady Renee Buchanan]

Does this count?  It's not sewing like everyone else does, but I used a needle & thread for a very long time.

I was given a small basket, the plain beige color.  Steve spray painted it black to go with my noble garb.  I also use a black lace umbrella that I had purchased off of Ebay.

Between last night and today, I hand beaded both the basket (40 pearls) and the umbrella (63 pearls and 15 gold beads) using a regular needle and thread.  Then I reinforced the feathers in Steve's noble hat, because the thread that attached them to the hatpin was broken in some spots.

I have decided that there are different types of people in this world.  Seamstresses and those who are not seamstresses.  I am in the latter group.  My husband, when he was home this morning, kept laughing at the vocabulary that was escaping from my mouth as I stuck myself with the needle, dropped the beads, and other such fun stuff.

I will take some pictures and get them downloaded and posted in a bit.  But it's the first things I've actually made by myself using a needle and thread!

Lady Renee,
I can't wait to see how the items turned out cause they sound very pretty. I also am a crafter and I love to find items I can tweak to suit me or others better. Plus bead work I think is just about as hard as sewing. I use to sew but I can no longer sit at the sewing table to do that so I do more enhancing now and find it just as fun.

New pirate garb. I finished the coat before Christmas, but now I have the rest done.





View without the coat and hat. The vest fabric is microsuede. The shirt is cotton that I bought on clearance. The skirt is cotton, too.
