Note to self: always buy at least two spools of silk thread per full-body garment.
After my last post I decided to hit the last steps of the bodice out of order ... I guess I was in the mood to poke things with an awl. I've completed 13 of 18 eyelets, but I can see that I won't have enough dark brown thread to finish the rest of the eyelets and the straps, then pleat the skirt, connect it to the bodice, and hem it.
I've sent out a message to some of my other medievalist friends in an attempt to put together a shopping trip to the nearest decent fabric/craft store, but if that fails, I'll have to find a better justification for driving an hour than a couple of $3 spools of buttonhole silk.
