stellar_muddleYou know when you have been happily wombling along, doing whatever, when you suddenly look up, realise the time and there is the sinking "oh shit" feeling that you really have to do something fast.
Just looked at the Calendar, having finally printed out a small year one and A4 page December and January. Noted that we head off to CF at the end of January - just over 6 weeks away. We have lots of stuff - no worries... Then noted that CF is a day longer in garb than Festival. And that various garb bit the dust last Festival - not just burn holes from iron smelting.
So:
1 undertunic for me - down to 2 functional ones and the later period chemises really don't cut it with things.
2 oilskin hoods with wider than usual shoulder bits - possibly wool lined.
2 maroon diamond wool tunics. Gores are on, "just" need to sew sides, work out if Z's one needs front and back gores, and hem.
1 pair trousers for Z - linen ones keep giving out around the crotch, so light weight wool and jean style flat felled seams.
Bonus garments - 1/2-3/4 circle oilskin cloaks if have time/inclination/insanity.
So, six garments, six weeks. It is only averaging one a week, which would be fine appart from the sewing machine issue.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evildrakey, we may need to pester you about using the double needle sewing machine and what sort of seams it does...
And we leave for Festival 7 weeks after we get back from CF. If the oilskin garments work well, may try and make more for sale at Festival... If I am gainfully employed by then, this is somewhat less likely.
So how is the CF garb front/event prep going across the seas?
* And in a fit of procrastination, about to send off SCAA membership form. Probably too late for cheaper CF entry - already booked and need to post cheque.
