The ever lovely and helpful Johanna came over again on the weekend and we got some more sewing done.
Completed:
The two shirts for Wolfstanus
The shirt for T
The two doublets for T (apart from the frog closures which will hopefully arrive in the next few days!)
Another 3 hoods cut out
Sewing together of two hoods
Still to complete:
The sleeves and hems on my linen chemise (the sleeves have been unpicked - need to fix the shape of them and re-sew)
Sewing together of 3 hoods
Lining for 5 hoods
Frog closures on doublets (x 2 doublets)
Lacing holes on 2 cotehardies for Wolfstanus
Lacing holes on my new cotehardie
Hem on 'old favourite' cotehardie that needs shortening
And I think that is it! Phew! I hope to have all that done by this weekend!

Only 17 days to Festival! Yikes!
Well, I've cut down some of my list of sewing - made use of loaner garb, buying trackie dacks and doing the minimal amount required. Johanna has been a life saver helping me sew all weekend.
Achievements:
1 shirt for Wolfstanus complete except for handsewing of hems
1 shirt for Wolfstanus almost complete - need to sew in sleeves and do hem
1 Shirt for Cyriac (still need to do a name change!)- collar and sleeves to sew on - hemming to be done
2 x doublets cut out for Cyriac - need more interfacing and to cut out lining before sewing
2 x hoods cut out and pinned - need to do lining
1 x linen chemise for me - sleeves went funny so need to re-do those and hem/finish off edges
Still to cut out and finish off
3 x hoods and lining
Lacing holes for Wolfstanus' cotehardies
Lacing holes for my Cotehardie
Button holes for Cyriac's Cotehardie
The goal is to get all the cutting out and pinning done by the weekend so I can just get in and sew like crazy! Lacing holes I can do in front of the TV of an evening.
I HAVE to get back into my study this evening for my short hand course - I am 4 assignments behind and have forgotten half of what I have learnt (so will need to revise as well). Bugger!!!
If I can get most of the sewing done by next weekend, it will give me the weekend before Festival to organise the camping gear. I do have the day before we leave off work but being on crutches kinda limits what I can do on my own!
