It's been awhile. I have been a busy little bee got lots and lots done. the corset is done, both skirts are done save closures (one box pleated one cartridge pleated) , 2 aprons are done (those are hand sewn) two coifs (one in Linen one in silk) the silk coif is covered in hand couched gold cording and lined to protect the silk and the pieces for my chemise have been torn out and ironed.
I found out that my sister in law had my old households so I need to re-do the skirt pleating and I need a new bodice (luckily I have plenty of exra fabric to do that with) I also need to bind the botton of the household skirt with black cotton and the silk underskirt with brocade I need my new bodice pattern which will be used for a new household bodice a bodice from the blue silk and a bodice outta the brocade (note to self more canvas will be needed) I also need to mock up two sets of sleeves for the brocade and one for the households and I need to source black cotton velveteen for the overgown I'm also considering a doublet bodice for the brocade skirt (I have 17 yards of the stuff and its 60 inches wide). so in a more orderly fashion the things that still need to be done before faire
Chemise
2 bodices (households and brocade)
bind two skirts (silk and households)

sleeves for households
Mockup sleeves for brocade (prolly open sleeves)
Final sleeves for brocade
