Back from a crafty hiatus with new ideas and inspiration!

Well, my crafty drought seems to have been broken thanks in part of preparing a dress analysis A&S class for our local SCA group. Now I am all inspired again and getting back to sewing.

First up - a corded corset for wearing under garb. The original plan was to make a separate corset and farthingale (medieval hoops skirt, but the more I think about it the more I think I'm going to actually attach the two parts into a kind of 'Franken-kirtle'. *lol* (Kirtle for those who don't know is kind of a medieval underdress that was tight and 'molded' the body).

So tonight begins the making of....

THE FRANKEN-KIRTLE!

(film at eleven....okay...well...pictures at least later :)

  1. I find this all quite amazing. I can't sew very well, much less tinker with patterns, etc. Lucky you to get Grammy's crafting genes.
