Got a fair amount done on Gryffen's doublet last night. The collar is on, the peplum is on and the main body is together and fully lined. I just need to hand sew the lining on the inside to 'seal it up'. The lining is pinned to the sleeves so will sew it tonight and the sleeve caps are sewn to the point where I need to put on the trim. Now if the trim would just arrive things would be great!
Tonight will be sewing sleeves and lining as well as cutting out Wolfstanus' doublet and pinning. Wednesday night will be cutting out Conrad's doublet and pinning (and hopefully the trim will turn up or I'm screwed). Thursday night is household grocery night so probably won't get a lot done. Friday is shopping for the feast, acupuncture, picking up hospit gear, portaloo and finishing sewing all doublets 'cause Saturday is setup, archery, feast and tourney on Sunday. Nothing quite like a tight schedule is there?
So far the doublet looks great - it is lined with navy blue linen and the main fabric is black velveteen. With Gryffen's red hair it works well :-) I'll try and get a photo of the progress tonight.
