Two weekends in a row

chargirlgeniusAfter every busy weekend, I feel like I need a weekend to recover. I have it! Whee! We got back from the La Belle winter gathering last night, and I have today and tomorrow off to do nothing. Blissful nothing!
The LBC gathering was productive for me. On Saturday, I got two boy shirts made, one 14th century and one with a 15th century neckline. The first was machined on the main seams, but then they were otherwise completely hand worked. I finished off two loafs of bread for dinner that I should have done earlier in the day. I started another shirt yesterday, then did a dress fitting, and supervised another pair of dress fittings. I also played lots of legos with Henry. Next Christmas. Totally.
Today and tomorrow, I intend to finish the neckline of the shirt and machine the main seams. I want to get a sewing area put together in the basement. Then I will start my new fifteenth century underdress that I've been planning for a while. Something for ME! I think it's been two years. I mean to have that done by Jamestown in March.
If we're going to Pennsic, and taking the boys, I have a lot of sewing to do.
The list:
boys
10 linen shirts for the boys (give or take)
10 linen tunics/gowns for the boys (give or take) (G63, Bocksten, other Herjolfsnes stuff)
*I mean to crank these all out on the machine, then set them aside and hand finish as possible, or a couple of weeks before Pennsic just cheat and use the machine.
2 wool G-63 for boys
2 wool bockstens for boys
Lightweight wool doublet for Henry (to match Jeff!)
Joined hose for Heny
Points
10 pairs of braies
Acorn hat for Henry
Jeff
Finish Teal G63
Lightweight wool doublet (to match Henry!)
Another linen F63
Linen Bocksten
Start 14th century Arming Doublet (after Pennsic)
Me
Feminine Agropeasant alternative
Red late 15th century underdress (by Jamestown)
Finish the seams on the blue v-neck (by Jamestown)
Dream: stays, petticotes, Laton jacket, smock
I'd better get busy...
