For the more immediate future

Before I get too distracted by my dreams, I need to think about the ever growing assortment of smaller projects that need my attention.
I'm in a sewing mood right now, but I'm also losing weight and planning on losing much more. I can't seem to convince myself to put too much work into an outfit that will look akin to a loose pillow sack in a few months. Regardless, I'm going to need garb for this upcoming season.

Here's my to-do list:

  • Mend side seams on my wool over-tunic, bind or otherwise finish seams so they don't fray again.
  • Check cotton under-tunic for weakened seams, try to get the paint stain out of the front bottom.
  • Check resale shops for coats/purses to deconstruct for leather for shoes. 
  • Find a decently passable spoon, stabber and possibly knife for feast.
  • Find a basket to carry stuff in or make some sort of plausibly period bag.
  • Figure out what the 'Abomination dress' wants to be. (Much more about this in another post.)
  • Make sleeves from the burgundy silk table runner.
  • Finish sewing tapestry trim onto cape, finish other edges.
  • Make a clear plan for my pear-green linen and turquoise linen.
  • Make new gold brocade into something, possibly a sideless surcoat.
I have so much to do! Plus, as soon as I find gainful employment I need to buy some lightest weight white linen to make a chemise and new headcoverings from.
