Working on trunk hose for green and navy camping suits. Tom and Shinji worked on shirts, Francis got help from Don Iain on bodice for cavalier dress, Althea worked on Spanish gown and period underwear, minyata continued working on underskirt. Tom spills his first container of pins. Yay Tom!
Have now finished trunk hose to part where I need to figure out how many darts to make and how big to make them. Some water or something got spilled on my canions, which I would have rather didn't happen until the garb was finished and I was wearing it, but oh well.
Played Rock Band.

Made fabric button from The Tudor Tailor out of practice fabric.
Thursday
Brought navy blue wool to fight practice so could start making buttons. Same size spool made a much bigger button, which is bigger than I want. Will have to experiment with different sized spools at my house. Helped Bryjna sew part of a quilt
