patable2010WEDNESDAY
While Leofwyna was sorting some of her stuff from the spare room yesterday she ran across a 'tablecloth' tunic she'd cut out (probably years ago) for gold key and never got sewed up. She passed it off to me to finish so I got that done today. This is a HUGE tunic but I went with it thinking sometimes you do have a large person wanting to see what we were about so I didn't cut it down any further. I also had Little Sister's cotton bathroom curtains to cut down and hem for dish towels.
Went to Moot this evening where plans were made for JAV next month. JAV is our big demo out at a local vinyard's annual spring one-day Renaissance Fair. This has been very successful for us for several years now and I kinda look forward to it. I'm going to work on bookbinding as I still want to have twenty done for the Cattle Raids project.
THURSDAY
Darnit! Leofwyna got put on-call again today. The way hospitals manage their staff-hours these days annoys the HELL out of me and I have to be careful not to transmit that annoyance to her. She certainly doesn't need me to aggravate whatever she feels about it.
I pulled a bag of white material out of the pile in my bedroom to take down to the sewing room today. First piece out was an L-shaped remnant of fine linen so I made a pair of ladies trews. My thinking is the 12th Century woman needing protection while traveling or riding wanted something extra under her skirts and instead of 'borrowing' a pair of trews she made her own fine pair. Since there's a record of a sermon denouncing women wearing such that it must have been done sometime; although how the clergy was aware enough of this to have an opinion gives me pause. There was a 7-inch strip left from which I cut four 7-inch squares to put in my workbasket to become goblet covers. I'll try to get them done before Cattle Raids for the largess baskets.
