And sew on and sew on
Aug. 31st, 2006 07:49 pmWell, I am officially out of fabric to sew.
I don't remember the last time I didn't have at least a project or two half-completed in my sewing box, but I don't any more.
Holy shit.
Cliff now has three pretty dhels, a black, grey and red print with matching trousers, and a red one with blue trim and and blue one with red trim. All I have to do is insert elastic in the waistband of the trousers and put frog closures on all three of them.
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to shorten my pink tunic dress and re-do the patching on Cliff's sister's jeans, and then I'll have nine zillion other things to do.
I have sewn my poor little fingers to the bone. *G*
But now I have an excuse to buy more fabric. I swore I wouldn't buy any more fabric until I finished the stuff I had, but now I have finished it, so I can buy more fabric.
Sewing needs:
Me:
Two underskirts (for lavender and red cotes)--cotton
Sideless surcoat not made of velveteen--linen
Three or four pairs of bloomers--muslin
Three or four pairs of trousers--cotton or linen
Plaid wool short cloak--need black duck for lining
Two more veils--sheer linen
Cliff:
Three or four more regular dhels--cotton or linen
Six pairs of trousers to go with dhels--cotton or linen
Four to six muslin underdhels
Mongol-style felt hat with fur trim, maybe two
Sewing wants:
Me:
Green linen cote
Blue silk brocade cote
Gold raw silk sideless surcoat
Red silk brocade cote
Violet velvet greatcloak--will need black duck for it too
Cliff:
Blue silk brocade dhel
Blue raw silk trousers
Red silk brocade dhel
Natural raw silk underdhel or two
Winter dhel of heavy cotton or linen with fur trim
I also intend to sew some mundanes for myself, and a dress for Nancy (Cliff's sister) as either her Christmas/Yule or birthday pressie from us.
