Title: 2008 Wish List
Post by: majikboxman on May 18, 2008, 10:37:27 AM
90 Days till cannon.

What 'if anything' are you looking for, wanting to add to your garb this year at or before fest ?

Me.... 2 kilts, 2 or 3 shirts.  Hopefully my neighbor gets my custom drinking vessel 'made from a tree branch' cut so I can put a finish on it.

2 kilts and 3 whats majik?!...LoL

I plan on getting another pirate coat and a new pair of boots this season. Maybe a new belt pouch and a new pair of pants too. That's all I can think of right off hand. I have a feeling  will find more stuff I want as soon the gates open!

I want everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P


Actually, despite the Baroness' fine instruction, I will probably be hitting Felix's as well for a new bodice. 
(I just suck at sewing!)
And a new fan.  Mine is pretty beat up.

I need dirtier pirate garb.  Mine is too "fancy".  I want a coat that looks 20 years worn and lived in.  Probably won't have that until at least next season though.  And proper bucket boots.  New breaches would be nice too.

Haven't even thought much about it!  Lord, you name it and I want it.  Maybe some weaponry and feast gear ...

I need a new fan as well.  My poor beer fan died last season.  DB caught a picture of its demise.    I have already made new outfits for Paige and Jamison.  I also plan on making a gwhazee coat and George wants new pants.

I got everything I could have wanted this last year. I guess the only thing I I am lookig for is a sheath for a fantasy dagger I have. I am hoping to have it so LD can use it.

I might have some stuff up for sale this year.

I really should make myself a new apron to wear during my turning demo to replace the one I lost. I've always liked the look of some of Felix Needleworthy's surcoats, but can't really justify it. The wife really needs a new wardrobe, but with some more skin reduction surgery in the future she's trying to avoid buying things that will be too big next year.

Oh goodness...I have a decent wish list...some stuff I've really got to get a move on making.

Let's see...
-pirate bodice, matching pants...for the pirate festival
-proper pirate shoes

-medieval dress and the overcoat thing I want to make for it

-bodice cooler
-fan
-leather mug with cork

I suppose I should mention the court gown, corset, etc. that's probably the only thing I actually *need* perse... but I still want it :-)
Title: Re: 2008 Wish List
Post by: Charlotte Rowan on May 19, 2008, 10:25:51 AM
Let's see...

Baldric - check. I have already ordered it
New bodice - tried making one and am failing miserably, so planning to order one from Bodices by Bonnie this month...
New pirate garb - in progress. Breeches are almost done, coat is well on its way (and looking nice!!)
Boots - plan to order those next month.
I really want a dagger too, but I think I will have to wait on that until next year.... the Fest budget is rapidly dwindling!!
::) :P :D

Well, If it rains good, we'll throw some mud at you!
See how we care! ;)

I need to find a big piece of heavy leather so I can make a scabbard for one of my cutlasses, otherwise it'll sit another season at home.

I'm also trying to decide if I should buy a new bodice for Bristol, or if I have enough time to make one and still finish my stuff for opening.

I would like a baldric, as my various weapons are a little on the heavy side for my poor little sash, that and I need/want the shoes i've been drooling over for awhile but for that I need to see Lady Oren, oh and I need a few other accesories in order to call my pirate gear complete....but when is it ever done. ;D

My wife's plastic surgeon also does trauma work so he might have spares on occasion  ::)

I agree, Jen.  I purchased a pair of Docs to wear this season.  I don't care if they are period or not.  I hate having tired and sore feet at the end of the day.

Well to not put us bankrupt this year I am selling stuff so I dont have to spend so much.

I have boots coming (thanks Bacardi!)
Twig will be the try out place for the new pirate coat, if I dont like it then its back to the drawing board for a coat.

I picked up a pattern for long waistcoat, now have to find time to make it.

brown baldric and waistbelt.

My biggest wish was to to Port Washington but it aint gonna happen.  ???

Finish everything for the FOP costume (must accessorize more than Kiss me Kate muhahahahahahahaha!!!!)  :o
