Pleh! I know it's supposed to help with fabric cutting and all that but I've never enjoyed doing it. Methinks I need an ergonomic ironing board or something cuz my back hates me after I iron.
in other news cotton canvas that's been sloppily folded on a hanger in a closet for three-odd years and then washed and dried on hot does NOT iron easily. I think I have something like 3 and a half yards of canvas so I should have enough for two bodices and a corset.
Now I have to go dig out my bias tape maker and get started on bias strips for my bodice edging and the strips on my overskirt I also need to locate some cheap black fabric (I should have some lying around someplace) to make bias for my households I think I'll also put a black guard on the bottom of my household skirt this time around I also think I'll be needing around 3 yards of white linen for aprons, a coif and some cleaning/polishing cloths for faire
I already have almost everything that I need to start sewing...I do need to borrow the snips from the hubbys parents to round the ends of the cable ties and their tape measure.
I also sent an e-mail to my GM asking her to let me know what we are gonna do about the fabric for the households. hopefully she isn't too busy and can let me know in another couple days.
It's just been rainrainrain here (not that I'm complaining or anything, we REALLY need it) so I haven't been able to take pics of my fabric so as soon as this storm moves out I'll get on that.
ok Me over and out (gotta go pick up the laundry)
