And then I just spiraled down, getting sucked further and further into the history of costuming and sumptuary laws and background on plant dyes and so on. Until I finally decided that I must have my own fantastic costume to wear.
Unfortunately for me, sewing is not my only hobby. It's about one in a dozen. So, while I have started a costume, it is nowhere near finished. (Except the underwear! I have a smock!)
Also, add in the fact that I am wary of sewing machines. So, handsewing. (Period appropriate, I tell myself!)
Hence, a blog! To document and coerce myself into getting more pieces of my costume done. After all, if I finish my kirtle, I can actually go out in it! (Underdressed, yes, but not in just a smock!)
