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...

Date: 2008-02-26 12:26 am (UTC)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?

Date: 2008-02-26 12:32 am (UTC)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. ;)
