Long Tunic

The tunic is finished! and a bonus pic of my sweet kitty being super helpful and assessing the linen for maximum comfort levels.

Another Tunic Post

Finished (except for the neck hole, which I'm gonna trim!) one tunic, got another all cut out.

I've had a glass and a half of wine, so hopefully I cut the edges straight. XD

It's gonna be a longer one, should reach just below his knees, and slit up the front for mobility (and some *gasp* scandalous glimpses of his legs!) and I haven't decided yet how closely I want to tailor the sleeves. Might leave them a little loose so an undershirt can peek at the wrists. I'm contemplating a V-neckline, but have to do a bit more research. I saw someone else's that I liked, though, that had one, so that's what I'm leaning towards.

Unfortunately, because I made the tunic long, there isn't enough of the linen left to make pants out of. I'll think of something for the scraps, but I'm still a bit bummed.

Will post photos eventually. ^__^

Intermission

Took a break from sewing over the last week or two, but I got some other things accomplished! Thought of a good use for an old photo album, too.

The balcony garden is underway... 0u0

Found stuff from Pennsic 2008. :) Can't wait to get back!

The Grey Wool Dress Again

So this damn grey wool dress. lol. IT'S DONE. Finally. Inside-out, the collar facing looks like

Cut it too long, so had a lot of trimming to do before I hemmed it, but it made the dress have a bit of a train, which I like. 

 Silly clown collar~

 Mid-sewing snack! Tea and french bread. YUM.

 Aaaand here it is on a hanger. It fits pretty well, though a nice belt would make it more flattering, I think.

Grey Wool Dress

I don't know why this dress is taking me so long, but maybe I'm just feeling a little burnt out on damn tunic dresses...lol. and I cut this one long, so the seams just kinda go on foreeeevvvver. Bored of pinning. But aside from maybe one or two accessory pieces, I think I'm pretty much done with stuff for me. the other few dresses I have written down that I want to do aren't really necessary.

The Wardrobe is Shaping Up

Started another dress, this time in kind of a heather grey, still that same tunic dress pattern. (I wasn't kidding when I said new favorite pattern!)

Craig officially has two full outfits, and ten yards of linen on the way, which should make three or four more tunics for him.
