I have several projects working, 1. redressing an inexpensive porcelan doll - my granddaughter opted for the pretty witch for her Halloween/birthday party. She'll be dressed in purple satin, lots of sparkly tulle in black and purple with a broom of purple silk flowers.
2. Landsknetch for my son. Just got in the linen for shirt, pants and doublet, and already had the wool for the waffenrock. I just have to get the red velvet for the trim on the 'rock and will be ready to go. 3. "Davy Crockett" for a co-worker (In exchange for helping with the haunted house at the aforementioned party) He's wanting to go "historical" and given me free range with what this means, so I'm still very tentative with this one. I have the cut for the shirt, and will be making a vest and jacket, though it's so far afield from what I usually do. Any one have some suggestions for the cut of a men's coat? He referenced the latest Alamo movie as sort of what he wanted.... 4. I'm finishing up the blackwork sleeves for an Elizabethan smock. and the dress of a thousand pearls...my version of the Pelican portrait. other than that, not much... alex On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 5:34 AM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > In a message dated 30/09/2008 06:03:08 GMT Standard Time, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > PS.
