Sure! Always! <giggle>
I've got a variety of things going at the moment, some of them
peripherally
(sp?) associated with historical costuming, in that they're
fiber-related.
I'm preparing wool and yarns at the moment (getting them ready for a
weekend
natural dyeing workshop next weekend), and some of that will become
historical clothing and accessories. I've got myself about a pound of
lovely, loosely-plied unmercerized (natural-colored) cotton, half of
which
is going to get indigo'd but *good,* with the idea of making Mamluke
stockings from it. I have about three pounds of a 2-ply
fingering-weight
wool that has been mordanted, and which I'll dye with indigo,
cochineal, and
a blend (not sure if I want purple or green ;o). 3 separate batches,
that
yarn, and it will make different pairs of 16th century stockings
(English/Irish).
I'm also processing a couple of raw fleeces, with the aim of spinning it
myself and making woven fabric from it for a couple of earlier-SCA
period
outfits. One of the fleeces is a Romney, which is a more modern breed
of
sheep, but I lucked out *hugely* with it, and it's such a nice fleece,
it
just *needs* to be made into a garment. I have something like 6? 7?
pounds
of it, and if my spinning can do it justice, it'll become a tunic done
in a
broken lozenge twill.
I'm also making a few new sets of (Western Norse/Danish, 10th c.) garb,
all
in linen and wool. Don't have the time to handsew them entirely,
though.
I've got a deadline on those, because the single largest regional event
for
my SCA area is coming up in early June.
Oh, and I *am* working on a handsewn 12th century (Norman) outfit, using
ideas I got from reading Robin's article of a few years ago.....
What's going on in your neck of the costuming world?
