Hungry

Urgh. I’m starving. I had lunch at 1:00 and I’m not out of here until 9 tonight. I have to remember to get some snacks and keep them in the break room.

Work is work. We’re getting ready for the Art Attack this weekend. I’m coordinating it, which is a big job. But it looks like things are coming together OK.

I’m working on a dress with the new McCall’s medieval line pattern. It makes up more or less like a cotehardie. Princess seams and laces up the back. It’s not too modern and I’m willing to sacrifice some authenticity for fit. The pattern is pretty wasteful of fabric, so I used the remainder of that red bolt I got from Wally’s for 1$. The drape on that is amazing. It came out good so far. I haven’t put on the sleeves yet, and that will really determine how tight is is in the bodice. I think it will be OK. I have lots of scrap left over. I should make a hat for later. Right now I’m planning on wearing it to Ian’s wedding, so I won’t necessarily need a hat for that, but for the SCA I will. I wish I had more of the red. I’d like to make something for Tom. I did get a gold colored fabric with the same type of feel. Maybe I can make him something with that and use the red for panels and trim.
