weekend costumey goodness
Sep. 17th, 2005 10:07 pmAfter much dithering re: what I want to make with my recent windfall of fabric (A Regency gown! no, a farthingale! no, a Spanish doublet! no...) I decided to go for something quick, dirty, and fun:
I'm going to use some of the polyester burgundy brocade drapes to make the Pirates of the Carribean coat. Quick: the pattern's called "Simplicity" for a reason! Dirty: it's polyester, so it has absolutely no resemblance to any real or imagined historical pirate coat, and Fun: even though it's burgundy and not crimson, I think it could be a decent start to a "Sheba the Pirate Queen" inspired costume - whatcha think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jlsjlsjls?
Besides, I spent much of the past few days taking apart 4 panels of drapes while watching movies - this hardly makes a dent in the stash and I've got to do something with it, don't I?
Photos of prior projects (namely, the partlet) forthcoming.
