Sew Much To Do...

[hsifeng]

*grin*

It is that time of year when people start to say, "Oh crap....faire starts WHEN!?!" and it seems that I am in the thick of it this season. No, I am not in charge of a Guild, not trying to set up an event or even help someone else do so.

I am sewing.

Every night there is hand sewing to do on the hubby's new Waffenrock (he reminds me that I am the one who decided that the 'broken branch' trim 'Rock would be cool...) and when that is done there will be a new set of Hosen/Wams for him that I need to start on, plus the set up to re-embroider two large sections of tapestry fabric in order to 'dress it up' in a more handmade sort of way. Thank GOD I have crazy friends to assist with *that* project - I love you Tonda and Jess!

So, all in all it will be awhile before I am out of projects.

The long list:
Waffenrock
Hosen/Wams - simple versions
Hosen/Wams - 'little lord Fauntlaroi' version
Kleid - simple version
Kleid - fancy squirrels version
Schaub for him
Schaub for me

Oh - and I want to make some hats at some point....*grin*

In the midst of this, I have four or five friends who are asking for various amounts of assistance with their garb. Damn, when I told the universe that I wanted to get back to my sewing projects it took me SERIOUSLY! Just a reminder to those friends - being able to bitch a little about the amount of work I am doing is more than half the fun for me! *chuckle*

See you guys soon! 

EDIT: As a clarification - This isn't all going to get done for the first event of the season! Right now I am focusing on getting Chris' Waff done and getting our friends assisted with their gear. After that the rest of this will be plucked away at slowly...

Don't worry...I know.... *grin*

*waggles eyebrows* I have this sewing machine that does smocking vera easy ;) (yeah, I know, it is cheating, but it's still cool, and it doesn't look too fake with the stitch in question.)

Best of luck with all the projects :)

Thankees!

Have fun with the sewing! I am working on something completely different, but it also has a due date in April.

And this reminds me, as I am trying to get my pavillion stuff in order for June (so I am not buying it all at the last month)... do you still use my two old carpets, or have they been used to pieces?

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

I have them still if you need them back!

[sstormwatch.livejournal.com]

In early June is fine. I think your event down south is before then, so keep them for now, and I will pick them up in June.

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'll be using them between now and then. So I can drop them off with you or they can stay in my storage unit (in my yard) until you need them....

wow!! hope to see some pics of the finished outfits. ;)

Better yet, you can just come over and we will show them to you at a BBQ!

Hi Cherylyn! I just figured out that this is you.

[hsifeng.livejournal.com]

Hi honey!

Glad you caught on – how is the East Coast treating you and the family these days? With our new season warming up down South I will be steering folks your direction for hats and whatnot. Any other new ‘ready made’ items up for sale?

[mmcnealy.livejournal.com]

The East Coast is treating me great!

I'll be posting about ready made stuff next week, I've got a Starfish barett and a wulsthaube/steuchlein planned for launch.
But right now I'm in the last few days of a push to compete in a Pentathlon on Saturday. 5 items that could be made, worn or used by a person. I've chosen a 2 year old boy, and its been a blast to work on, but its totally consumed me for the last 2 months. ;)

Please, please, please keep me posted on both your goodies for sale and your children's clothing research! We have a LOT of little ones in our group and even the hand-me-down clothing is starting to get ragged... *grin*

[mmcnealy.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'll keep you posted on both accounts. ;)
