JoAnn recently opened a new store, so I paid them a visit yesterday. Didn't hurt that they had linen on sale for 50% off ... Not a fantastic selection compared to the last time I went fabric shopping at Hancock, but since I'd been dropped off and didn't want to try walking through the traffic and sketchy weather I stayed put and picked up 3.5 yards of mid-weight natural linen and some matching silk.

Goals?
I'm officially addicted to hand-sewing. Especially when I'm using more period-correct materials. This is going to make my life interesting.
In progress:
Embroidery for Maciejowski gown
Red wool (blend?) open hood
Rust/orange angel-sleeve gown with buttoned front
Dark blue cotton tunic [we'll call it "Norman"]

Lockdown
With (now slightly less than) two weeks to go until Gulf Wars, I've put an official freeze on new projects. I'm fairly pleased with the pace of progress on the Maciejowski gown - the center front and center back seams and gores have been finished, and I've started the seam finishing on one side. Didn't bother to note which one ...
Tonight I plan on continuing work on those seam treatments and possibly running my cloak through the sewing machine.
My dark green hood also needs seam treatments, buttons, and buttonholes.
There is a dark blue tunic on my garment rack that could possibly be finished before War. As of yet, I haven't decided whether I'll be on site Thursday or wait until Friday. Probably depend on the state of my sewing pile.
Off to get ready for work!
