Like Myspace, Livejourmal and sad to say this very blog, our days between check ins become months, and then years. Cue my delight when I dusted off the cobwebs to find that there are still folks out there finding my old tutorials useful. Life keeps spinning me into new and interesting places, and I continue to make pretty things, and I still like to show others how I do it.<br />

This much loved but quite often neglected blog has been cruelly left to languish while I have been busy making good grades, and some pretty cool art. I do my best to make it up to you all with updates on what I have been working on, but first I would like to share my latest creation. <br />
So before I make with the pictures, I will start with the back story. Awhile back I was approached by my patron. He wanted to do something nice for a friend of ours that was having a rough time, you see her long term significant other was diagnosed with cancer and the prognosis went from bad to worse. This woman is amazing, loyal, delightful, and often times will bend over to give you the shirt off her back. We wanted to make sure that she knew that she was appreciated and loved. So my patron asked me to make her an amazing coat.<br />
Well as much as I wanted to make this coat the most awesome thing evar, I was having issues designing it. The Muse had taken a break since the deadline was months away. So I pondered, worked on other things, and generally fretted whenever the coat came up. I didn't know how to make a coat as awesome as she deserved. I went through design after design, I designed coats with felted greek key trim, I designed coats with appliqued bears, there was even a version that had a Skyrim joke, but nothing felt right. Cue the end of Winter term when I got the assignment for my Color Design final, "Create a Mood Through an Artist, or Culture", Opulence is a mood, Byzantine is a culture.<br />
I suddenly found my Muse in the act of unpacking her bags, and tossing fabric swatches around in my head. Suddenly the Coat became more, I was making her a gown now. I caught the wave and was off. Pulling fabrics out of bins, and curtains were sacrificed and it all came together in a frenzy of sewing. That seems to be my habit, weeks of calm, and a mad push of creation. It is maddening, but I do get some rather nice results. The gown was sewn in less than 48 hours, and got me an A on my final.<br />
Now it is a few weeks later, and I still haven't come up with a design that I like enough to start cutting, It was getting too close to the delivery date, and I finally decided on a pattern, then I couldn't decide on a lining, angst. With the help of my apprentice sister patting me on the head, I made the final decision and began to cut. from there it was smooth sailing, and tonight I had the joy of giving it to a most delightful woman. <br />
Without any further ado here is Nicasia's Byzantine Gown, and Rus Coat:<br />

I am one class shy of being done with finals for the term, and I had the pleasure of being able to tie in a project I have been wanting to make for awhile now as the final project in my Design class. Our assignment was to create a six word story. I came up with "Through the starry sky they reign". I used the ravens to represent the Mother, Madien, and Crone, and used elements from my SCA arms to inspire the design.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to find this piece of blue wool at St. Vinnie's for under $10. It even had the Pendleton Woolen Mills tag still on it. It practically screamed "make a coat out of me". The lining was a gift from my Laurel when she took me as an apprentice. I had to do several layouts to make sure the pattern could be cut from the lining since it was only 36" wide. <br />
<br />
I am really happy with the result, and kinda bummed that I won't get the chance to wear it until August. <br />

I managed to get almost all of my homework done, and passed both my art history test, and my math test with A's. I finished an Anglo Saxon for my patron's wife. Amazingly I managed to get clothes made for the kids as well. Why is making kids clothes such a pain? Anyway Griffin got two new tunics and Hunter got a new tunic, and 3 pairs of pants.<br />
<br />
Most importantly I was made a full apprentice to Domina Luitguard, and Tadhg took his first protege. Still not sure which makes me more proud. <br />
<br />
There is still a pile of things cut out but not finished. By Sport of kings I hope to have all new clothes for the boys. Tadhg's Knight is going to be visiting from Trimaris and we get to meet another Knight of Duncan's line as well. It looks like SOK is going to be pretty sewing intensive.<br />
<ul>
<li>Tadhg's Surcote</li>
<li>Kids clothes</li>
<li>Something pretty for me.</li>
<li>Tent repairs</li>
<li>Patron clothing</li>
<li>TBA (not sure what it is, but I know more will be added to the list)</li>
</ul>
And in the next week I have to make a Norse coat for my Design final. Lots to do in the next two weeks. YAY!<br />

It has been an interesting few months. I have, after nearly 20 years, returned to school to obtain an Arts degree, and 4 weeks into the first term I can say that I should have done this much sooner. For the first time in memory I am maintaining an A in math. This makes me stupidly giddy.<br />
<br />
I have been keeping busy with projects between homework assignments, and I have recently had a very happy accident. My patron has an adorable little girl, and as typical with toddlers she grew larger between the time I measured her and when I made her new tunic. She got to wear it once. Her father in his wisdom suggested that I enter it into the Children's Garb Exchange clothing competition to be held at Bar Gamel's. I made her a new set of tunics, bigger this time so she should be able to wear it for two or three months.<br />

Since we planned on day tripping the event and I wasn't sure that we would be there early enough to make the entry deadline, I sent the Too Small Tunic ahead of me with a friend that would be getting there Friday night. This ended up being a really good thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Friday evening I left the Husband to give the kiddos a bath and put them to bed while I went to the grocery store. I wasn't gone long when I got a text from him telling me that I needed to get home right away. Our youngest had had a pimple on his tush that we were keeping an eye on, and overnight it got much worse.<br />
<br />
<br />
Tl:dr I spent 6 hours in the ER with a squirmy three year old, and we were not going to make it to the event.<br />

Cut to last night when I started getting messages telling me that I had won several of the categories for the contest. I think they were people's choice, Queen's choice, and most likely to be worn in a mud puddle. My friend brought home my prizes, and I was gobsmacked. Seriously they were not kidding around with the prizes! <br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">

<br />
<br />
So as a Valentines day/tax return present, I ordered a new pair of apron
brooches from Raymond's Quiet Press. I have been eying them for a long
while, and now the precious shall be mine. Of course this translates
into my brain as a reason to make a new dress.
<br />

And so we begin our tale of my new apron dress with this lovely piece of wool that I picked up from St. Vinnie's. I cannot remember the exact price, but I am sure it was about $8. I had estimated that there was 3 1/2 yards on the bolt, but when I finally got around to measuring it I realized that they had doubled it over before wrapping it on the bolt. I got 7 2/3 yards! Woo Hoo!<br />

I always use the thread pull method to straighten the ends of my fabric before starting any cutting. <br />

I wash all my fabric with few exceptions. There was some shrinkage, but nothing I was really worried about.<br />

This is actually where the problems began. I have been wanting to try the Hedby style layout for some time now, and so I thought that I would use the less brain bending version found <a href="http://www.dragonlore.net/costuming/apron_dress_3gore.php">here</a>.
I don't know where I went wrong, but somehow it was too short. I did not figure that out until after I had cut. Note to self do your own math. <br />
<br />
So now the question is how do I fix this? I didn't want to chop the remaining wool into bits, and I didn't want to use my old Tried & True pattern because I wanted this to be a three panel dress. My intent with the three panel dress was to use a gusset at the center back seam, because I have and hourglass figure with full hips, and a large bust. Without a little definition at the waist I start looking pretty boxy. So I had to do some reconfiguring on my old pattern. <br />

Pass three, sew the top of the body panel down to the gore. Did I mention that you do not want the top of the gore to get caught up in any of the seams. <br />

Needle Felting is not a period craft. It makes me sad to say, because I really like making my clothes with natural fibers, hand sewn finishes,and rectangular construction methods. So why after going through all the trouble to do it right am I showing you all my dirty little secret. . . I cheat. Well I have to confess that I do it because it is a way for me to embellish wool that gives me beautiful results without the pain that embroidery causes me. Don't get me wrong I love hand sewing, but doing it for long periods of time hurts. </div>

This is the needle out of its holder. The needles are wicked sharp, and have multiple barbs to snag the roving. Use good safety practices, don't stab yourself, don't leave it where the kids can get into it, etc. </div>

On to marking your pattern. Wool is notorious for being hard to mark. The fibers like to poke out all over the place, and the piece I am working with is left over from making a pair of hose, and is heavily fulled. The first step of marking is laying out the design. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I initially used a water soluble marking pen, using the tip of the pen to pierce through the paper, but the marks were not dark enough for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I decided to switch to my awl to make more pronounced hole, I also moved the fabric over the foam pad so the awl pierced the paper easier. Follow the outline of, and make the holes 1/4" to 3/8" apart. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I went back to the marking pen and tried to make the marks darker, but . . . </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here I have used a graphite pencil with a soft lead to darken the mark. In this situation, I am using black roving and the mark will be felted over, so I am not worried about the graphite not being removed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I have the entire design clearly marked, but chalk lines fade really fast on wool, so I went back to the graphite pencil and outlined each shape. </div>

Trust me it is a lot darker in person, I took ten pictures, and still couldn't make this look good. <br />

On the right side of the fabric it looks completely covered, but if you turn it over, </div>

It looks a little bare. For most applications this is fine, I would toss it in the wash and let the fibers lock into place. However this is going to be an unlined banner, and I decided to felt from the back of the fabric to make the piece reversable.</div>

Felting from the back to the front gives a furry texture to the front. You can see on the claws I have felted the loose threads back down. So while it wasn't intended we liked the fuzzy-ness, and kept it.<br />

So there you have it the felting took about 3 hours. I was only able to work on the loops of the banner for about 1 1/2 hours before I had to stop and give my hand a break, so it took about a week to finish all the hand sewing. The recipient is very happy, and I cannot wait to see it in use at March Coronet.<br />
<br />
Here are a few other projects I have done using needle felting the options are endless, and I hope you have fun!<br />

I just wanted to let you all know that there are several tutorials in draft form at the moment, and I will be publishing them soon! <br />
<br />
Here are the suggestions so far:<br />
<br />
Costuming for the Non-Costumer.<br />
<br />
Fully finished ensembles <br />
<br />
Where it is and isn't okay to deviate from period practices and why. <br />
<br />
How to look at portraits and see patterns <br />
<br />
Seam pressing<br />
<br />
Transferring an embroidery design to different materials.<br />
<br />
"The Joy of Fabric" Period fabrics<br />
<br />
Comprehensive look at the difference between weave and content.<br />
<br />
And a sprang tutorial, but as I do not grok sprang yet that one may be suited for another blogger ;) <br />
<br />

Good day dear readers, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the years that I have been costuming for the SCA, I have
watched basic resources go from a copy of the known world handbook to a
plethora of information, be it extant garments on a museum website or people
like Mistress Isobel who spent <span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif";">1,947</span>
hours embroidering her Maidstone jacket. There is so much information available
out there now! I have gained so much over the years from people willing to
share their research, and I want to give some of that back. I want for this
blog to be a place where I can help people learn new skills. I want to help
someone bring up their own game, and maybe my own at the same time. I am a
visual learner, and I find photo tutorials to be the best way for me to learn something
new. As a dyslexic I can barely follow written directions, and I need to see
something in action to understand how it works. So I would like to know, what do you feel is needed in the online
tutorial world? Please leave me a comment with suggestions, thank you.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
So now that I have shed light on my creative issues , what is the next step? How does one overcome years of self doubt
and fear. Well, how do you eat an elephant? Answer, one bite at a time. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I have resolved to
do something. Something small, something easy, something fun, something that is
part of a greater whole. Just something. If I wait around for the perfect
project at the perfect time, I will be waiting a long damn time. There is no
perfect time no perfect project. As I wait opportunity slips by. The chance to
do more is ebbing with the tide. If I want to make great things I have to do
something in between now and greatness. So I will do something. </div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The first part of my something for
yesterday was drawing a sketch for an upcoming project.I did that on my
break yesterday, and when I got home I picked up a task that I have been
avoiding. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Recently some really awesome people were invested as Prince and
Princess. The Prince has a little boy, and he needed to look spiffy too. The
costume coordinator gave me a jacket and pants that needed to be finished, and
for some reason I hated working on it. It wasn't my pattern, it was already
sewn, I already had a project with the same deadline. All I had to do was the
finish work on the jacket, and sew together the pants. So why is there such a
block to work on this damn thing? It needed to be done in December. I started working on it only to have my sewing machine eat the jacket<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>when I tried to sew the button holes. I wanted to scream
"This is NOT my $!#%^& <a href="http://mrq-laurellen.livejournal.com/844586.html">Chicken</a>". </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It didn't get finished, I had to safety pin the jacket on so he
could wear it during his father's investiture. So the unfinished jacket went
home with them, and just got returned to me last week. So now I have the chicken back, and you know what? It is my chicken. I agreed that I would do this project. The failure to finish is all on my shoulders. A few nights ago I pulled it all out, and got to work. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Stressing out about not doing the job in the first place took more time than actually sewing it did. Of course now I am going to have to sew the button holes by hand, but that is what it will take to do it right, so that is what I am going to do. </div>

It really isn't much of a struggle, I usually don't put up much of a fight. I have been trying for some time to make this blog resource for other people to share in my passion. I posted a few tutorials, and then I let my life take me away. I get caught up in the desire to do it right or just do nothing. My desire is to create the perfect piece, and when I fall short of my goals I am disappointed in myself and I have that much more to overcome on my next project.<br />
<br />
I usually perform my greatest work when I have a deadline that doesn't allow me to stop and think about what I am about to do. I can override the little voice in the back of my head that tries to convince me to do the known because if I try something new, I might do it wrong and that would be the <i>END OF THE WORLD</i>! I want to squish that little voice under my heel and make magic happen, but fighting it day to day is such a heavy burden that I fall back to the fallacy of doing nothing is better than doing something wrong.<br />
<br />
I find excuses to explain why I am justified in not taking the next step.<br />
I have kids.<br />
I have no money.<br />
I am too tired.<br />
I hate sewing for my body.<br />
<br />
It is time to stop making excuses.<br />
I am a skilled artisan.<br />
I am not limited by my fears.<br />
I am surrounded by amazing and creative people that find me worthy.<br />
I am not less because someone else is more.<br />
I am not defined by failure.<br />
I am creative.<br />
I am an incredible artist.<br />
<br />
This is hard for me to put out to the public. theses are the struggles that I keep to myself because I am afraid that if I open myself to the possibility of ridicule that it will somehow make me less, but I am not limited by others perception of me. I am not expecting to become a new person overnight, but I am ready to stop fearing myself, to stop fearing that I might not be good at what I am doing. It is okay to fail, it is not okay to give up.<br />
<br />
I know that I am not the only person with these thoughts. There are
others out there that are having the same problems. If you find this
blog, you are welcome here. You are not alone.<br />
<br />
There is a proverb "When the student is read the Master appears". I believe also that when your heart is open the message is heard. Elizabeth Gilbert gave a lecture at TED, and it resonated within me. This is the message that found me:<br />
<br />
<i>Don’t be afraid. Don’t be daunted. Just do your job. Continue to show up
for your piece of it, whatever that might be. If your job is to dance,
do your dance. If the divine, cockeyed genius assigned to your case
decides to let some sort of wonderment be glimpsed, for just one moment
through your efforts, then “Ole!” And if not, do your dance anyhow. And
“Ole!” to you, nonetheless. I believe this and I feel that we must teach
it. “Ole!” to you, nonetheless, just for having the sheer human love
and stubbornness to keep showing up</i>. ~ Elizabeth Gilbert<br />
<br />
Do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing.<br />

update. I have been keeping busy with a few fun projects. I made a
lovely Bliaut and have been commissioned to create a Waffenrock for her husband. So here are a few pictures of the Bliaut in progress. Sadly I forgot to take pictures of the finished garment, but her husband has promised to get me some pics when she wears it a An Tir 12th night this weekend. <br />

So there you are a mini update. Coming soon I will be posting about the Waffen. Morrghan O'Siodhachainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10193687322960546352noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461260281537658577.post-74822781818891326112012-06-21T11:33:00.004-07:002013-02-06T15:30:22.133-08:00Things are happening again!Well it biggest news is that after four years my husband and I have stepped down from being Baron and Baroness. I now have no job, in real life or in the SCA. So since I am now retired I have time to play, and I have been busy adding projects to my list. So far I have two commissions for tunics, a amazing musician is getting his Laurel and I will be working on that, and a soon to be Queen needs to look fabulous as well. Not to mention a friend is wanting to start a business, and I may be putting together a bulk order of under tunics.<br />
<br />
So here is Ellie's Viking<br />

So there we are. I should be sewing now anyway.<br />

<br />
I apparently still manage to have some followers that still read this blog. Sorry for the lack of . . . anything really. You would think that being unemployed would allow me endless hours to sew, and blog, but for the most part I try to keep my children from damaging themselves, each other, or the house.<br />
<br />
In better news I have actually spoken to the Muse, and she has been happy to have me work on Viking Clothes for a friend. I am making a Saffron Linen Apron dress, Under Tunics (one linen, one cotton), a Long Sleeve Tunic, and a Short Sleeve Tunic. I am pretty happy with the progress so far, not happy with the deadline of Thursday, and the massive amount of packing to be done before Egil's. Not to mention that this will be our last Court as Baron and Baroness, so the scrolls, thank you's, and general end of tenure panic that goes with being a Landed Baroness on top of everything.<br />
<br />
So since I should be abed, I will leave you with these pics of a Fighting Tunic I recently made for a friend,<br />

So being the rational sane woman that I am decided that now he needed a Vigil tunic.<br />

I have lovely white raw silk.<br />

I have lovely brocade.<br />

Tadhg has a Vigil tunic.<br />

The Vigil tunic actually needs a hem before I can call it officially finished. I am going to let it hang for a few days at least so that the bias can settle.<br />

Tadhg stayed at home with the children, but we were texting back and forth regarding business. So when I got this message "King/Queen just called. Offered me my Pelican @ 11th Night." needless to say I just about lost it. So after the squeeing was over I realized that leaves me with less than 2 weeks to make his Elevation garb. Crap. So here I go . . . wish me luck!<br />
<br />
Lucky for me Tadhg loves the Norman style, and has the perfect body for it as well. Also lucky I have a pretty good fabric stash. In the stash is a piece of fabric I bought knowing that one day he would eventually be a Pelican. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qIMBoB9XZzs/TtVRTBt9_3I/AAAAAAAAI8k/Gf7UffaCaCU/s1600/678A0330.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qIMBoB9XZzs/TtVRTBt9_3I/AAAAAAAAI8k/Gf7UffaCaCU/s320/678A0330.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The fabric is a linen cotton, the color doesn't really show very clearly on the picture, but it is a green and black cross woven. There is enough of the fabric to do the lower trim on a Roger II style tunic.<br />
<br />
So now the decision is what to do for the main portion of the tunic. So the three linen choices from the stash is a two toned silver, a green that almost matches, and black. So far I am leaning towards the black even though I had been saving it for myself. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XzpDs_QwPdM/TtV0QgpaSOI/AAAAAAAAI9Y/cJlSWThdK_w/s1600/Tadhg+Pel+Fabric.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XzpDs_QwPdM/TtV0QgpaSOI/AAAAAAAAI9Y/cJlSWThdK_w/s320/Tadhg+Pel+Fabric.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So stay tuned to the progress as I lose my ever-loving mind.<br />
<br />
EDIT: Decided to change course, and go for a St. George style Bliaut. I have been wanting to do this for quite a few years, and since we already did the Roger II I get to try something new. I have a lovely light wool that has been telling me it wants to be a Bliaut, and Tadhg really liked it when I pulled it out. Since it is his ceremony I figure that I should make him what he wants, and luckily I married a man that likes the clothes I make him, so we both win.<br />

This is a rough outline of how I make my Medieval Men's Hose. I plan on updating it when I can take pictures again (camera batteries refuse to charge). This hose pattern is made from three pieces. Each piece is generated by fitting against the wearer's leg and foot respectively. </div>

<ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<li>Trace around the foot of the wearer adding S/A, and a point on the back of the heel. The point will come up the heel, and connect to the back seam about 2". Remember it is easier to trim off excess than it is to cut out a new piece so don't worry if it seems too big.</li>

<ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<li> Cut a square large enough to cover the foot from the toes up the ankle. </li>
<li>Cut a slit up the center of the piece at the ankle. About 3"-4" enough for the leg to touch the floor without bunching at the ankle. </li>
<li>Have your wearer, preferably in his braies, stand very still. Begin pinning the leg piece around the ankle fitting tightly up the leg. I use curved quilters safety pins, they are made of awesome and I recommend them to everyone. </li>
<li>Mark the seam on both sides before unpinning. Trim off the excess fabric leaving your S/A. </li>
<li>Take the square and insert the point as you would a gore (see <a href="http://morrghan.blogspot.com/2009/02/alysaundres-perfectly-pointed-gore.html">Gore tutorial</a>).</li>

<ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<li>Carefully take the hose piece off without unpinning, this is why I prefer the curved safety pins, no stabbity. If you cannot get the wearer's foot out of the hose you need to adjust the amount of ease in the heel. </li>

It has been difficult to post without having a computer at home. In positive news, the journey of the past two years to becoming home owners is finally over. We are the proud owners of a 1969 Ranch style home. It is in desperate need of paint and flooring, and we are doing what we can there. The square footage of living space is double what we had, and even though I don't get my very own sewing room, I will have a dedicated space that can be safe guarded from the grabby hands of toddlers.<br />
<br />
Now onto the tour:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6ujZvImV-Ko/ThtBq79Z6aI/AAAAAAAAI5s/4mgfCroysks/s1600/3_10058532_5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628164365235120546" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6ujZvImV-Ko/ThtBq79Z6aI/AAAAAAAAI5s/4mgfCroysks/s400/3_10058532_5.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
Here is our pink wallpapered Bathroom. It is currently stripped halfway, because o_O who wants pink wallpaper!?!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7PUkWUwqKrg/ThtBqn-L5pI/AAAAAAAAI5k/PIxFoeSsodM/s1600/3_10058532_4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628164359869687442" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7PUkWUwqKrg/ThtBqn-L5pI/AAAAAAAAI5k/PIxFoeSsodM/s400/3_10058532_4.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
This is the Front living room, this has a passthorugh to the Family room. We chose a Gold paint for this room, and the hallway.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zH5lz-3zSrc/ThtBqnXUWMI/AAAAAAAAI5c/YV5BKy5HU98/s1600/3_10058532_3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628164359706663106" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zH5lz-3zSrc/ThtBqnXUWMI/AAAAAAAAI5c/YV5BKy5HU98/s400/3_10058532_3.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
Here is the Dining Room looking into the Kitchen. The teeny tiny Kitchen. Luckily the closet on the other side of the wall is expendable, and we will be expanding. The Table and Hutch came with the house! We also found the extension leafs for the table we will be able to have lots of people over for dinner!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3hoaX8y7KSY/ThtBq-OzViI/AAAAAAAAI50/NcH-fzw8H88/s1600/3_10058532_6.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628164365844960802" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3hoaX8y7KSY/ThtBq-OzViI/AAAAAAAAI50/NcH-fzw8H88/s400/3_10058532_6.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
This is the Family Room. The wierd Black and white thing is a bookcase that will be moved out. We chose a dark green for this room, and Husband wants to put the TV on the wall. We will need to have the Pellet stove inspected before we can use it, but woo hoo a pellet stove!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aet75_8U-fk/ThtBgb74IjI/AAAAAAAAI5U/oMUmNbzfr-Q/s1600/3_10058532_2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628164184840086066" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aet75_8U-fk/ThtBgb74IjI/AAAAAAAAI5U/oMUmNbzfr-Q/s400/3_10058532_2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>Here you can sort of see one of the closets that line the far wall of the dining room. There are four of them and with a little cleaning, and modification, they will turn into the sewing space. I'll have to get better pics.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-18804CZigW4/ThtBaXtDhfI/AAAAAAAAI5M/zslB_0RXIXo/s1600/3_10058532_1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628164080624961010" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-18804CZigW4/ThtBaXtDhfI/AAAAAAAAI5M/zslB_0RXIXo/s400/3_10058532_1.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>Another view of the living room and the front door. Notice the crystal Chandelier. This picture does not do justice to the amount of dust and grime covering it. I think I will take it down and clean it up, but so many other things to do first.<br />
<br />
Both the front yard and the back yard are good sized, and the neighbors have all dropped by to say hello. We haven't even been there a week, and I know more neighbors here than I ever met at any of the other places I've lived.<br />
<br />
So that's my new house! We are still in heavy cleaning mode before we can move in, but the rewards are priceless. Now if only I could figure out how to raise money to replace the flooring. . . :)Morrghan O'Siodhachainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10193687322960546352noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-461260281537658577.post-30852001407273587832010-08-05T12:04:00.000-07:002013-02-03T23:07:09.815-08:00Looped edge in a bindingHere is my pic tutorial for creating a looped edge for buttons on a bound edge.<br />

So lemme 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Last time I posted I was pregnant, and now I have two awesome boys. I am still a Baroness to the most fabulous Barony in the Known World! My Husband still wants a gambeson, I still have issues with cutting it out. I finally got fitted for the Gothic Fitted Gown I have wanted for the last five years. Now I just have to work on losing enough weight that I can finish my 12th night gown.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dDJUwOpSpo8/TEfehX1h67I/AAAAAAAAH0Y/_i-EqTWIEVQ/s1600/888544844_NskQ8-X2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496606535144565682" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dDJUwOpSpo8/TEfehX1h67I/AAAAAAAAH0Y/_i-EqTWIEVQ/s320/888544844_NskQ8-X2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 214px;" /></a>I have not been able to do much in the way of sewing due to children, and time. I do however need to get moving on the dress for my best friend's wedding. I threw my back out right in the middle of fitting and we only have a little over a week left. Eeek! We will be finding out soon about the pre-qualification for a home loan, so soon I will have my own space to sew, and keep the three year old out of my stuff :P Once I have a decent space for sewing I will be able to devote more time to tutorials.

Also we are getting ready to move so future projects are going to be on hold while we get everything set up at the new house. Hopefully this will be a temporary stop before we buy a home, but it is definitely a upgrade from where we are now. I'll have a real garage, a dining "room", more than 2 cupboards in the kitchen, a bathtub, a hallway, and a laundry room. Honestly I don't know how we have survived in our cottage this long, let alone the year my mother was there with us.<br />
<br />
Later this month I will be attending Sport of Kings, and hopefully I will be taking some pretty cool classes <span style="font-size: 85%;"> </span> <a href="http://www.sportofkings.org/index.php/sok-store?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=35&category_id=3&vmcchk=1"><span style="font-size: 85%;">The Textile Equipment of the 12th Century Warrior</span></a>, and <a href="http://www.sportofkings.org/index.php/sok-store?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=24&category_id=3"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Rectangular Construction Gambeson Workshop. </span></a>I hope to have my husband looking like a 12th century nobleman both on and off the field.

Traveling throughout the Principality and being all Baronessy has taken a lot of time that I would have for sewing, but in addition to that I also have to contend with finding a house to move into in the next month, a toddler that just turned two, and the ever fun first-trimester-exhaustion of pregnancy.<br />
<br />
On the sewing front I have been working on a 14th century dress made from this lovely purple/black shot linen. At first I was going to have it as a loose rectangular construction tunic with short sleeves, since my current summer wardrobe is woefully inadequate. After I got the dress assembled I realized I was unhappy with the bagging at the armscye. I decided to take the sleeves out, fit the gown closer, and. . . draft sleeves. Drafting my own sleeves has been the bane of my costuming career. For the longest time I just plum didn't get it. People have tried to explain over and over how to do it, but my brain couldn't translate their instructions. Finally it all just clicked, and <a href="http://www.mathildegirlgenius.com/Documentation/SleeveClass.pdf">these instructions</a> didn't hurt either. I am proud to report that my very first drafted sleeve fit into the armcye perfectly the first try. I of course had to rip it back out because I was using a red linen mockup to test the fit before I cut into the last yard of my linen. I hope to have it done this weekend for An Tir Coronation.<br />

I usually do this by hand since I could never get the point to align correctly, and it didn't look very good. So for years I have been telling anyone that would listen that the best way to insert gores is to sew it by hand, well now I am going to tell you different. Last month while attending the local sewing night I was taught a new method of inserting gores, and it is all done by machine, and it results in a perfect pointed gore<br /><br />So without further ado here is Alysaundre's Perfectly Pointed Gore Technique:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dDJUwOpSpo8/SaMPNI2BfkI/AAAAAAAAAx0/3Bmkx3FZNEc/s1600-h/100_1514.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dDJUwOpSpo8/SaMPNI2BfkI/AAAAAAAAAx0/3Bmkx3FZNEc/s320/100_1514.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306101504359366210" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On the left is the gore, and on the right we have our main fabric with the slash.
