we bought fabric.
first up is drogo.............black twill for pants, really cool skull bandanna fabric (they have it in red too!!) for headwraps......blue mottled flannel for jammie pants............and (i'm gonna curse lots!) navy blue thermal fabric (he's getting a thermal undertunic)................and it's all 100% cotton, less chance of him melting while wearing it all forging............
for me, two new pairs of flannel jammie pants, and a sleep tunic.........prolly end up wearing the tunic for a garb lite day too though.......
this stuff is gorgous.........it breaks my rule of only natural fibers, but i had to have it.......sari-ish brocade..............for only $4 a yard..........i think it's gonna be a persian coat, cut so that i have a seam down the back where the fabric edges (with that wonderful trim edging) meet........so i will have a double stripe of pretty, right down the back of the coat, and on either side of the front......i really hope i have engouh that i can do the sleeves with the wrists at the edge too...........
and of course, i'm hoping that i have leftovers for a choli..........i'll make sure to post pics of finished objects.............
but i'm not allowed to work on this with the monkey in the house, i know already the air's gonna turn blue from all the salty language!!
and of course, had to have something for the monkey........flamey flannel..........we're gonna go blind looking at her wearing it, but it's gonna be a nightgown...........as she puts it, flame-print sleepwear helps her stay warm at night!!
i think i've got my work cut out for me...........luckily, i don't think any of it needs trim, so that's one less thing to worry about.........i've got trim sitting on my loom (that i strung up at pennsic) i need to finish........pretty dyed pastels silk, with beads along one edge.........for trimming the short ends of a pale rose-colored veil (for indian garb)...........need to get that finished before warm weather sets in..................
i'm being lazy about knitting currently too...........i have three WIPs (work in progress'es), none of which i've really worked on in a while...............but we have an event this weekend, i'll almost definitely get stuff done then!!
and now, on to breakfast...........

If you have any luck work on the sari-esque fabric, drop me a line. I've got about 15 yards in assorted colors (you're gonna smack me, the local JoAnns had it in the discount bin for $.99 a yard and I snagged it all) and I haven't been able to bring myself to start cutting for fear of ruining it.
Hmmmmmm. You're the better seamstress and I have the non-monkied home. (Thus a free profanity zone) Any time coming up where you could be stolen for a few days for a good ol' fashion stitch and bitch? I promise to return you to your hubby after!
