Garb plans for the spring..

[Jayden2298]

anything special for the spring you are working on? Colors, materials? Items?

I will be making my first pirate outfit for my daughter Jaz. Her daughter will be dressed as a parrot.......a molting parrot at that.

The parrot costume is a bit problematic, but I'm sure I'll figure out something.

I'm also hoping to make them both faerie outfits. Jaz has a couple of faerie dresses, but is wanting a new one and baby Gabrielle needs everthing new since she is only 6 months old.......and she will have a wee wench outfit also.

I may get around to making myself a new outfit.

Trying to get two pairs of bloomwers done for fair...several new skirts and chemises, also ordering some new corsets for non-faire costuming:0)

as well as skirts for non fair costuming and a blanket for myself crochet wise:0)

Colors TBD

I hadn't really thought about it hmm. . .but if I do make or get anything it will have to be "scorching hot weather appropriate" . So anything "abbreviated" I'm not talking about running around naked, but, breathable fabrics, no layering and potential to show a little skin. . . . the next two faires I have are Excalibur (pretty moderate temperatures) and "Saharaborough" which I'm working. . . sooooooooo yeah comfort is king.

Hoping to make some new chemises and try my first bodice (for me). I've made 2 but small tiny bodices for my pre-teen nieces. This will be my first attempt at supporting the girls! :)

Let me think....

I am currently working on an Italian Day Dress, which is almost finished. Then I plan on making a couple new chemises, two or three viking tunics and a pair of viking-ish pants. ( I love when I find good fabric at Wal-Mart!) Then a bodice and a couple of cotton skirts...not like I need them...I just need some cooler things for 90 degree days at festival, since I work there and all. You know the drill.

Did you use a pattern? Which one?

I want to add more Italian dresses to my collection, but I'm at a beginners level when it comes to sewing - all I can really sew together are skirts. I've purchased a few but they are in lined velvet (not good for the summer months).

Any easy patterns/tips you (or anyone) would recommend for the Italian persona?

Hmm...

Pirate garb for the TinkerWench,
Archer Garb (early celt) for me

[Caitriona]

I'm hoping to get my Margo's done. 2 sets of Nobles one in hunter green velvet, the other in green Fluer de Lis tapestry.

Plus about 8 pairs of bloomers..

My garb making will be on hiatus until I figure out our moving plans (You know...WHERE!). Hmmm...hope we move near a faire. This year has been a killer! My poor sewing machine is all lonely :(
