I'm on the Wikipedia now!
The other night I was looking over my Flickr account and I'd been left a message from a Welsh gentleman asking if I'd be interested in changing the license on a photo of my gold Monmouth cap so it could be added to an article. This is part of a project to get the people of Monmouthshire involved in developing a cluster of articles about their corner of the world - notable people, events, and artifacts associated with Monmouth.

KAS Judges' Comments
Safely back from Kingdom A&S! Of course I totally ignored the alarm I set to make sure I had plenty of time to wake up, get washed and dressed, then rendezvous with my ride, so I was pretty rushed getting out of the house. Despite being slightly late getting on the road, we arrived at the event with enough time to get our submissions registered and set up.

Full circle
In late June 2010 I ordered a fantastic piece of "Kermit-the-Frog green" bargain linen. By August I had decided on a project, and now I am pleased to announce it is finally DONE. And the peasants rejoiced.

Distance teaching
Thursday morning I was greeted by a delightful surprise in my inbox. A fellow costumer left a question about my Maciejowski project on my Flickr account. So I made happy, squeaky noises for a couple of minutes, then had some breakfast as I got to work summarizing my sleeve construction scheme.
I've taught a couple of traditional lecture/demonstration A&S classes for the local SCA group, and while I do like that, it really gives me a boost when somebody independently inquires about my approach to a design or construction challenge. Kinda makes me think those two years of architecture school weren't totally wasted ... I just seem to do better working with medieval clothing reconstructions than with buildings.
In upcoming news, Gulf Wars begins a week from tomorrow, I'm still very much on the fence about whether I'll make camp Thursday or Friday, and Macie is picking up the pace of progress. The right side torso and gore seams have been finished; the left side torso seam is finished and the gore seams treatments are under way; which leaves the sleeve seam treatments, trimming the sleeve length and skirt, hemming the skirt, and doing the embroidery. Sounds like a good deal of work. Hopefully I can make about as much progress tomorrow as I did today, then keep up the pace Monday.

It literally translates to "boob cloth."
Good morning, everyone! I'm back from Fashion Academy and ready to tackle some sewing ... after I get off work, of course ...
I'm pleased to report that I got my "Cheater St. Birgitta" cap to a wearable state Friday night and it behaved quite impressively at its first event. I only had to reposition it once, and I think, had I not been sitting in a car (i.e. rubbing against the headrest) for a couple of hours, it could have stayed on for longer without needing any fiddling. It even caught the attention of one of the teachers at the event - she inspected the overall design and the craftsmanship, and I'm to send her a cutting diagram and the construction notes ASAP.
