Pre-Pennsic Sewing

Is all about “service” and money.  I have several pieces that I need to get finished for my family for Pennsic, and several pieces that I need to get finished for others.

4- Italian Camicia  I use the pattern on Realm of Venus . It is a great pattern.  I use a slightly different cutting model than this pattern does, but it is a great pattern.   Two are for me and are out of this really nifty linen weave cotton I bought for $2.00 a yard.  It is all I have of it, and I really really like how it wears.  Two are for a young lady in my household and are of a plain cotton.   Not a bad price, but would have loved to have picked up a better deal on it than I did. 

1 Fun Tunic – My boy, wants another “Fun” Tunic.  He wears them at the end of the day, after he’s showered and I have confined him to camp.  This one has dragon’s and blue flames. 

Baby Size Tunics for my baby.  He is remarkably cute in his tunics, but like most babies, he get’s filthy quick.  I want to make sure I’m not running to the laundry every two days at Pennsic.  I wish I could get a better picture of him modeling, but he’s all of 14 months, and much much too wiggly.  I do sell these gorgeous little tunics for $20-$30.  If you are interested.

2  10 Gore Dresses – One is a remake. Take the thing apart and cut it down a few sizes, the other is flat out a new one for the same lady.  I’ve made other garb for here over the last year and she paid mine and my boys way to Pennsic, so bless her, I can certainly finish this up for her.

2 Italian Ren – Basic generic what I’d call an underdress, but the young lady in question, won’t wear the outer gown that should probably go with them – ever.  I don’t do it in the summer when I am camping either, so I can’t say much. 

1 Houpelande – Again, another item that is being done for barter. 

1 Coptic Tunic – This I’m looking forward to.  I’ve never made one, so I am hoping that it goes along fairly well.  More barter goods.

1 Sax Tunic – Basic t-tunic. Even more barter….

3 pair of Trouser’s.  And even more bartered items…..

Today’s job is to rework the sewing room and clean out so that the fun can begin  :)
