Oh, also...
Sep. 30th, 2012 11:13 pmRE: the 16thc jacket...I've started to wonder whether it would not be smarter to make it out of wool? You know...October. Potential cold. That kind of thing. I'm pretty attached to the shade of green of my linen that I was going to use, but I wouldn't mind it out of some forest-green wool I've got either.
Only down side to using that green wool is that, well, it's already in a dress. My green medival dress, to be exact.
On the one hand, I do like this dress. It's comfy (yeah, ya think? IT'S NOT FITTED) and drapey and wicked fun to swan around in. That train! On the other hand, I'm not super-super attached to it, it's not a very exciting dress, and I made it four years ago and have worn it a grand total of twice. There's just no reason for me to do medieval!
There would be a few other options for jacket-fabric in the stash, except I really want the green & orange color scheme! So it's either sacrifice the medieval dress and have nice warm wool, or save the dress and have my ideal color scheme, but possibly (probably?) be cold.
HELP HELP I CAN'T MAKE DECISIONS.
