So, since my neighbors are now the Heirs to the Crown,
1. They have chosen the reign of Henry VII, 1485-1509, as their inspiration for their reign and clothing.
2. 1485 is damn close the the nebulous time of my persona, 1460-1480.
3. I have no clothing yet for my persona.
4. I have no excuse any longer for having clothing for my persona.
5. I have this pattern for late 15th century clothing that I bought at GNE.
6. I have a good sized stash of linen and linen blend fabrics, if they're suitable.
7. My roommate has fake fur he may wish to unload.
8. I think I'll be making a dress in a time period vaguely suitable to my persona and the upcoming reign.
9. I'm going to need help. The most complicated things I've sewn so far are T-tunics with trim and contrasting facing and a sideless surcoat that required some serious mental geometry, but not very complicated sewing.
10. I'm terrible at handsewing. Funny, because I'm pretty good at embroidery. Hopefully I can machine sew most of it.
The next few lists are things I want under an lj cut, but I don't rememer the html code for them and my Very Old Computer seems to not want to allow me the option of rich text editing. Thus they will be in separate posts that will more easily allow people to skip over them.
I have a cat napping on either side of me.
