No, ME!
Not that I need 14 yards of green wool.
Fight! Fight! Me too! I was going to say: oh, Dawn, it's just not you!
However, it is exactly me! G
I have such visions of a fabric scramble. lol
I haven't used up the wool I have from Pendleton yet, so I'm just watching
everyone else

Well, fabric.com has wool crepe in a variety of nice fall colors for
$6.49 a
!4 yards. 60 wide?
Lord ...make yourself a nice, smart looking redingote you can wear out today
[even though it's Victorian]. That might take like 6 yards. Make that
houpland if you must with the rest. You have enough to make a period and a
modern
garment.

I would use it to make 16th century British dresses for my daughters. Not
nobility, merchant class I suppose. I say this without knowing if the shade
you have is compatible with that time period, but if it is what I am thinking,
then that is what I would do.

I've got 14 yards of plain medium-dark green (somewhere between

What would you do?
um, ... send it to me? *grin*
it sounds like lovely tunic and overgown type stuff.

LOL! Well, I am willing to part with it for what I paid for it, which is
pretty cheap, if anyone is interested. I've been looking at it for a
year now and just can't get inspired.

Is it too
It definitely sounds like a good weight for a gown, any time any
place. :-) Embellishement can turn it into a higher class. There's
that wool mantua at the Met with the metallic embroidery.
Lightweight wool is so wonderful for spring or fall outdoor events.
It really depends on what
Dawn,
I just got back from a wonderful three week vacation to England and
Scotland with four other SCA friends. We saw castles. We saw cathedrals.
We saw Palaces! We saw ordinary people's homes recreated from Anglo-Saxon
times (Weald and Downland Open Air Museum) and Tudor Cottages.
No, ME!
Not that I need 14 yards of green wool.
However, I think I'd make doublet, trews, perhaps a tunic, and a cloak.
The cloak, I'd line with a medium-weight linen; t-shirt weight does seem
a bit on the light side.

Now there's an idea. I do need another 1870's dress for the live action

How much did you say
Ooooh.
That lightweight? I'd make a bliaut. Or maybe, I'd just roll around in it
for a while (enjoying the ownership and all ;-) I'd embroider the hell out
of it, too, in bands around the neck and sleeves
I'd make a shirt out of some of the remainder, using the same geometric
patterning
