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.
I feel some days as though I were a medieval woman stuck in a modern life. I think often about what it would be like to live a medieval life and I work to make it happen, at least on weekends. As a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, (www.sca.org) I strive to constantly improve my understanding of medieval history and my execution of activities from that time.
