Ideas Collage.

Hello internet!

Well, I seem to have received positive feedback about my last blog, (THANKS) and I have decided to go with writing a series. Next you can look forward to a post on: How to turn your pattern into a THING! Most exciting. Until then, here are a whole bunch of pictures of things I would like to make.

At the moment though I have decided I need to actually finish things off properly with my garb. So until I've finished my list of half finished things there will be no new garb for me personally.

There will still be posts, just no brand new stuff yet. (This is all after I make my German doublet and skirt still).

So without any further rambling... here is a collage of ideas:

16th C Saxon:

I also really want to make more man garb. Similar to the doublet and hose combo that Prince Henry wears in Ever After. I think its either Italian or Burgundian from early 16th Century. The Italian version generally seems to have tones more lacing and I'm not such a fan of lacing cords these days. Anyway, I have found a suitable MANikin for such an item. hehe =p

I'm still making my lady doublet and skirt combination, I think for the midwinter feast. If everything goes well the Saxon might be for the ball. There was even matching dress plans with Aoife and myself and I know Vienna wanted to make a similar dress so we might turn the barony Saxon! =D Lots of experimenting and patterning and creating ahead! I'm definitly going to try and research construction of this Cranach style dress. When we are done though, we will have to have a dramatic picutre of the three of us with knifes or severed heads and that. Hehe

Speaking of the Ball... I think Elizabeth and Aoife have convinced me to put a bid forward. That's a bit exciting! =D
