Hey, I actually have made stuff this year (2008).
Something I realized I did not do was write down some of the items I have already made for the A&S 50 challenge.
1. I made 2 linen aprons for me to use with my blue kirtle. One was hand sewn, and the other machine sewn. Both made from stash linens that was actually a remnant.
2. I made the blue kirtle! Bodice hand sewn, with skirt machine sewn. Sewn the two halves together by hand. Fabric not really from stash, but bought some months ago from eBay.
3. I made a pair of sleeves to wear with the blue kirtle. They were made of cotton pinwale corduroy from my stash!
4. Made 2 linen coifs to go under the Anne of Brittany hoods, also from stash remnant fabrics. They are slightly smaller than my head, but they are usable.
5. Made hand-milled soap (a geode crystal in purple) & bath bombs at one of the Baronial A&S events this past spring.
6. 'Relle's holiday dress was finished. While it is a modern girls dress, it could pass ok at an event since I chose a square necked style that has almost is a Tudor look to it; and was anyway made from stash materials of red cotton velveteen.
7. One long fingerloop braid that I have running around here somewhere ('Relle likes to play with it).
8. One kumihimo braid that is also floating around here.
Well, it's a good start. I may have missed something, but I realize now that if I finish up that Elizabethan loose gown (which I want to wear for Yule and is almost complete), I may actually be on track for my 50 items by AS 50. Oh, and the AoB hoods, and maybe a scroll.
I need to take photos of most of these, but now that I have a list, I can go collect them and take photos to put up.
