On Saturday I went to a scribes meeting and learnt about gilding manuscripts and made a start on a new scroll.
I had an inspiring & productive A&S/training on Sunday, and came home feeling exhausted (but motivated). Lots of follow up stuff to do after that one, including paperwork.
Yesterday I faffed around adapting patterns for a little while; a task I always find challenging.
Today I grabbed a couple of minutes to cut out a test run fitted smock from an old cotton quilt cover. I have always made Italian style camicias, but sometimes they can be a little bulky for more fitted styles of late period clothing. I'm always nervous when cutting fabric, but I'm not worried today because I got this quilt cover at the op shop for $3. I should get 2 undergarments from it.
I'm looking at making a modified version of (g) - smock with simple hemmed neck and sleeve.
