Costuming Update

Previously
Got help from [livejournal.com profile] landsknecht_po on patterning my new doublet - yay! Spent almost 2 days cutting everything out, then got started on construction.

Ordered "Dress at the Court of King Henry VIII" and "Before the Mast: Life and Death Aboard the Mary Rose", which have now arrived. Tried to order Mary Rose shoes but they are currently unavailable.

This Weekend
Have succumbed to the madness that is Rock Band. Also went to karaoke on Friday night - lots of fun, but still have no voice on Tues. On Saturday and Sunday, [livejournal.com profile] minyata hosted sewing practice. I mostly worked on braiding my own trim:

Also in attendance was [livejournal.com profile] guardian_hero, who worked on a shirt based on the new Janet Arnold book with help from Blue.
