That new current project I had been contemplating...
The fitted cotehardie one where I had even gone so far as to check out Costly thy habit for instructions...
Is now back down the queue due to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
basal_surge realising that he needs a 14th century outfit to go with his 13-14th century writing desk for a display... at the end of this month.
So, next project (seams are now all done on the Anglo-Saxon tunic and it is just awaiting me finishing the tablet weaving) will involve a 14th C coat (based on the Herjolfnes coat - Norlund #63 - likealpha_angel's one) and (probably) a hat. He has functional undertunics and we can fudge leg coverings.
Ventured forth into the fabric cave* and after establishing that we have much much wool (some of which is not in the spreadsheet) and found some very nice grey wool and some unbleached linen to line. These have just been hot washed and are now on the line drying.
Have established we need some old sheets for patterning with. Currently out.
This one is breaking out the new sewing machine though, but should be an interesting challenge.
* Excavate (good wools) fabric chest, open fabric chest, paw through fabric (fondling somewhat), repack fabric chest, remove cat, close fabric chest. Giggle at (other) cat purring in black bag in box. Tidy shelves of fabric, tents and leather while at it. Clear cats out of room by playing the recorder that was excavated off the top of a chest - it wasn't that bad...
