Pictures forthcoming

I haven't posted in a few weeks. Sending a big 'sorry' out to everyone who follows my posts.
But I've been busy-ish with crafty things since my last post, so I bet you'll forgive me.

I finished sewing the neck facing to my linen under-tunic and changed it to a square neckline to wear with my new Elizabethan type dress. I finished this at Crown Tournament minutes before my escort arrived at my campsite to take me to the opening procession. I still needed to finish he bottom hem, but that didn't need to be done right away since it is hidden under to outer layer. I also need to tack the extra sleeve length up into the inside of the sleeves before I can call it done.

I bought a lucet at Crown Tournament to make laces for the Elizabethan dress. This will replace the polyester ribbon I am currently using

I hemmed a square of what used to be a poly-cotton pillowcase to use as headkerchief.

I started cutting out a long grey/green linen tablecloth into a new under-tunic. This one is using the same generator that I used for my green cotton under-tunic, and is meant to replace said garment. My original cotton one has a irremovable stain at shin height, and I'd like to start moving away from using cotton.

And I've been drop spindling lots of wool. I need both mittens and socks before it gets cold again (not that it has warmed up yet.)

You will get pictures of these things soon. I promise to make this happen early next week, as I'm heading off tomorrow to June Faire for the weekend.
