| Please note charming gathered cuffs. |
This is the almost-finished picture of V's blouse for RenFest (she
wanted something Romani-ish, and I'm being incredibly lazy and making it
up as I go). It's a fairly simple rectangular construction—big
rectangles for the body, slightly smaller rectangles (or rather long
trapezoids) for the sleeves, and rectangular gores (insets?) at the
sides to give the underarms some ease.
All
I have left is cutting and hemming the neckline, and decorations;
neckline has to wait until I can put it on her, and I'll do the
decorations once I know what size and shape the neck will be. Clever,
no?
I am
very extremely proud of those gathered cuffs, too.
I've never gathered anything! Let alone gathered something into a
functional cuff. I think they came out beautifully, and with a little
luck they'll fit her well and not just fall over her hands.
Next on the list (kind of next) is the skirt:

| We don't need no stinkin' historical accuracy. |
I
have three yards and a few inches of turquoise, and one yard of green.
Thinking a circle skirt (or circle-and-a-half, more likely, since
swooshy skirts are fun), with a band of green at the bottom and the hem
bound in turquoise (I should have plenty of scraps to achieve that). Now
I just need to do the math for the skirt, which always seems to defeat
me despite having completed the
entire fricking calculus series but I'm not bitter about my lack of basic math ability or anything.
