My Frist Saxon Dress |
|
 |
a little dark, but I only had 3 yards of the Cherrywood Linen. Accent color blue bonnet 1 yds |
|
First time I made a contrasting collar |
 |
Color on the cuffs as well and along the hem. |
 |
It was so very wet on site, the hem got wet at leat 18" up. |
 |
|
 |
|
Simple retangular pattern |
|
gussetts under the arms |
|
Finished the dress last night with bits of embroidery around the neckline and the top of the cuffs. Just a simple button hole stitch. |

Will drive up in my car and follow Isela and Catherine in the other car. Catherine has lots of boxes to give to Constintina, Her Royal Highness, who will be the new Queen of the West come tomorrow. |
We got everything in one car. I didn't have to drive. |
Taking the Red Tudor & the Black Italian |
|
We are staying at a Hotel so no camping gear Feast Gear Chair Flashlight Cooler with Cyder & Sodas plus all the dinner extras. |
|
Gloves Wool square cloak (it's actually a rectangle) made from 2yds of cammel color wool. A gift from Faelan |
Faelan gave me two books from the Complete Anacronist: Blackwork & Early clothes |
 I did manage to get my head in a few shots from other people. This is the last Court of Catherine & Jade. |

I'm sorry it's at an end and relieved as well. Very mixed emotions. The dress worked out well in all the rain & mud. I got most of it out. It needs embroidery and that will be another project. |
