Another change in plan.

Sad to say, the dress is being put on hold since my husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I would rather put my energy into something that I can ware to 12th night in comfort and maybe Mike's garb. I am still planning on making the dress, but it is not on the top of my list. this way, I can take my time with all the parts. for now, it is a goal to ware it next year to 12th night.

I am also diving into the world of Heraldry. I have the voice, but I am starting to learn about the book part. I am really looking forward to learning about this, but I do have to say that this will be a second love. Costuming and all things that go with that (embroidery, weaving, etc) will be first and foremost my main goals in the SCA. I am looking forward to finding ways to do both and to have both intertwine. The nice thing is that I will always have something to do when I am waiting at heralds point. lol

Change in plan

Well, after doing some math, I have found out that it could cost me $100+ for the linen thread to embroider all those roses on the partlet. sorry, but I don't think I want to do that quite yet. I am still thinking about doing the rest of the dress, as is, and just not do the embroider until later.

I am also looking at some 15th century garb for 12th night for more comfy/"I can dress myself" stuff. last weekend, a new SCA friend, Niki, came over and help me make a pattern for the underdress/kirtle, that I hope to have it done but the shire's Ithra event in November. It is taking everything in me to not start it now, but I have to wait till I get the rest of the family in some good garb. After this weekend, I will start to figure out the next 3 dress, and start planning Mike's "Court" garb for 12th Night.
