Banner Stands

Still haven't got all the photos ready I want to put up here! I have Conrads banner 98% finished - I just need to sew the tabs on the top and it is done! I need to try and get Gryffen's done by this weekend - I will give it my best shot!

This is a sample of the banner stand Cyriac has been making (in between dabbling with making armour - I need to make a Gamberson for him now!!)

The long promised Cotehardie and Sideless Surcoat!

I have finally taken photos of my first attempt at using Period Patterns #21. The Cotehardie is made from white corderoy (sp?) and the Sideless Surcoat from dare I say it, recyled curtain material ;-) Can't remember the sort of material I used for the gold lining on the surcoat though - I didn't write it down. The lacing holes are hand done using red wool.

The fit isn't as snug as I would like it, but I don't think it's too bad an attempt for a first go! I hope to purchase the pattern for the men's cotehardies soon too as Cyriac has decided he likes the men's clothing from that period too.
