First attempt at a Cotehardie (made in 2006)


This is my first attempt at a cotehardie. Although it isn't completely authentic, I still like it. I think the style suits me and it is very comfortable to wear! The cotehardie is my favourite style. My goal for my next piece of garb is to do some proper research - I have some material in my stash that is begging to be made up. I hope to start my research next week when I have a weeks holiday!

Not much here is there........

Well this idea didn't really take off did it? I'll get my act together one day - really I will!

Wolfstanus' banner is now complete. Just working on a banner stand. Started making a banner for Conrad too - just need to applique the battleaxes now. I need to finish it before Thursday (Medieval day at the high school).

So to do list for this blog:
* Photos of white Cotehardie and Sideless Surcoat
* Photos of Wolfstanus' banner
* Photos of Conrad's banner

Next projects:
* Banner for Gryffen
* Get T to decide what sort of garb he wants me to make him
* Make new garb for Conrad
* Make new garb for Wolfstanus
* Make new garb for Gryffen
* Make 'summery' garb for me
* Make cushions (for taking to SCA events)
* Make a shade pavilion

Hmmm....may need to do some of this before the Baronial Hunt at Polit next month!
