So close, and yet so far. I'm making my first hood so I can wear it at Pennsic this year when it gets cold and Nathan can wear my cloak, and it's looking pretty good - light green linen lined with natural raw silk. It's quite warm, and is turning out better than I thought it would. I was so eager to get it just to a point where it looked almost wearable tonight, but I got one step backwards. You know, lining something that has the topology of a macaroni isn't trivial. Okay, so it's not really that hard, but it's easy to get a bit confused. I'm just glad I didn't go trimming stuff before I checked. You know how hard it is to put fabric back on after it's been cut off?

Too bad people don't wear Möbius strip clothing. That'd be cool.

It was a bad night for hood-making. :P My hood is all messed up, too! Well, I think I have it working now, but the opening at the front is kinda funky, and there are more gores and added bits than I know what to do with, sigh. But! It's wearable now.

Now I just have to figure out how to put the embattlements around the bottom... more bad geometry. sigh. At this rate, applique'ing the star will be the easy part!!

I have a tabard now, too. Hee. And most of a new dress... yay. this is a good thing. armor repairs will be done on Saturday. Yikes. Too much to do!!
