martelvoncI spent today fixing, repairing, or re-triming, 7 tunics, one pair of pants and two simple circlets for my veils today. I will finish 1 undertunic tunic for the son tommorrow and put that all aside for a few days in order to work on a cloak I've been asked to make. In between I will make the son 2 or 3 pairs of drawstring pants to wear. I'd like to make a white linen underdress for me but we will see if I can squeeze that in.
We will see, there are 11 days left to sew and I don't work except on my new ebay used book business.

With my mom helping with the cloak every day I should have it done before the end of the week and then I can go back to packing and sewing. I'll get the kids to start staging more camping stuff in the living room.
I haven't made garb for myself for a while (other family members, yes, but me no) and I'd forgotten how satisfying it is to make clothes to wear for the SCA. And I do mean clothes. When I make garb I don't look at it as being "costumes". I look at it as real clothing and I want to make it sturdy and comfortable. I still have gowns I made 18 years ago. I repair them and refurbish them but I still love them.
Funny how your view of SCA activities changes the longer you've been in.
