Sewing Marathon continues...

I've posted a couple of new pictures today. One is the black apron dress for HRH Anne which is black linen (thank you Eithni for the great deal!) and trimmed with card woven trim by Christopher Heth (Robert). His weaving is attractive, neat and easy to use-thank you Chris!

The other is the red wool cloak for Isobel. I stitched the angel on in a combination of outline and split stitch and I finished it with outline in black.

The eura dress pattern has come out well after I wrestled with it for a while. Keep old fabrics and/or muslin handy for new patterns. Save your linen for the final cut. While most of my garb is plain, I decided to pull out the trim and decorate a few. It's amazing how trim can make an old item look new! Pennsic is just a couple of weeks away now so I'm going through my garb to see what fits and what dosen't. A friend is coming over to help with hemming tomorrow.
