Bwa ha ha
And the forces of late-period shall cover the earth!
queenwench came over to play with big pieces of paper and the Tudor Tailor book. She has some fabric that I'd given her that she wanted to make the waistcoat out of. So we started with shoulder slopes, since I'd been poking through Threads at Borders earlier in the week. Yay for correctly drafted patterns. We used the shoulder slope information when we drafted a basic bodice pattern for her, using instructions from The Renaissance Tailor
Then we took a break and went over to Joann's so that she could pick up a couple of things we didn't have on hand, and to Starbucks for some chai for her.
We got the pattern drafted, and she's going to cut out a muslin. Someday, she'll have a kirtle, too. I've decided.
We also talked briefly about the glories of Tudor headwear, and how they fit in with bangs (which is to say, they don't). I told her that she'd only continue to get help from me if she promises to never wear tudor/elizabethan without something on her head. And I almost even mean it.

The "Glories of Tudor Headware"???
My god woman, what have you done!?
:P LOVE Brigit
Re: The "Glories of Tudor Headware"???
I only have two in use now, with one waiting for a hat. I'm trying to decide between a coif and flatcap and a french hood for my next.
Soon, they'll be lined up in a row. Then phalanxes. Then I'll have an army of little styrofoam heads, wearing tudor headgear.
And then they'll come for you, Brigit-wears-no-hats! They'll come for you.
