Sewing/crafing projects
Ok, this is what I plan to make in the next few months:
- New summer weight Chinese hanfu robes for Maelstrom - current kit is polyester satin and is ridiculously warm in the summer, so I plan to make a new set in silk and/or cotton. moose_biscuit also wants a new summer outfit, but I think she wants to do it herself, so I shouldn't be needed.
- First attempt at a justaucorps/pirate coat - I have a miniature pattern which I need to scale up and then fit to my tricky proportions. The first try will probably be imperfect and therefore suitable only for random larp kit, but I will eventually make a nicer one for a planned poncy character.
- Regency short stays x 2 - moose_biscuit's should be relatively easy, I think, but manufacturing a period bra to support my ample assets will be more challenging.
- Late Regency gowns x2 made from sarees - a dress I saw at the Medieval Fair put the thought in my head that sarees imported from East India would have been perfect posh cloth for regency ladies, so I plan to make us each one for the next 'Masquerades & Massacres' event, whenever that is.
- Leather corset armour - for Odyssey and any other time that I might need some armour, as I have none.
