baronessekatIt's just over a month to Pennsic.
Ekat needs new garb.
Problem number one: does anyone have a gwazhee coat pattern (or however you spell it) that can make a copy and send to me? I know the basic idea for them but would rather work off a pattern. contact me please.
Problem two... time for everyone's favorite game "what the hell do I make out of this?"
Things to keep in mind:
a)I'm a size 10. Might be an 8 by pennsic but I don't want to risk making something too small.
b) I have curves.
c) I'm 5'3" without shoes. with sneakers add 1/2". With boots add 2"
1. 2.625 yards. Mixed content. I'm pretty sure all synthetics. I'm contemplating a full skirted tunic. It's not quite long enough for a dress unless I put a visable underdress. If I do that... what color?
2. 1.444 yards. cotton/synthetic blend. a over the shoulder's throw?
3. 5 yards. silk wool blend [minus the cat hair] (this one was wal-mart dollar table. couldn't say no to that). I'm thinking maybe a Norman. Maybe a cotehardie/kirdle.
suggestions most happily accepted.
