Jan. 10th, 2009 12:18 amNot on the tent cover but on the roman outfit.
There was fabric purchased (our stash tends towards heavy wools at present), but at $4 per m (cotton unfortunately, but still not bad. Yay Arthur Toyes half price sale) and it is currently in hot wash for putting out tonight or tomorrow.
In the mean time, decided that a failed viking undertunic could be salvaged for a breast band. Not structurally essential, but probably useful. Had the advantage that I had hemmed the fabric before machining together the tunic and the (tunic) width was just right for (half) the (breast band) length, so I could cut off 2 pieces and they are already hemmed on 3 sides. Yay to far less sewing. Just seam in the middle and hemming the top edge. Hand sewing for the event tomorrow.
However, given the 7am start tomorrow (Harcourt Park IJA event), time for bed.
