Daily dose
Began an idea
16th century long coat
Black Cashmere with a dark purple liner of sari
Found some dark purple wool to mix into the collar
I figure lace on split sleeves with silver buttons
Looks good so far
Liner is ready
The back and sides are together and began work on the collar
In doing the hunting collar ganked off a 16th century leather jack pattern
It’s similar to the collar on my vinyl long coat
The improved version is going on this coat & then the velvet doublet
(pictures to come soon)
Other projects
The velvet and purple brocade turned out wonderfully
Loved by all .
And the purple lace chemise was done quite well.
Creative critiques I thank you I know I still need to make loaner “hoop skirt”
YES a Farthingale
And YES my first one.
The Chinese satin brocade turned out well
And a pile of other things
Arm your fully automatic machine needlers
Renfair is upon us
To arms to arms
busy bees
