I've been working on mostly hand sewing projects for the past 10 days or so.  I've completed all the hand work on two of my ACW projects - the Creme Work Dress and the Morning Wrapper.  I'm just pleased that my list to be completed by the end of April is getting shorter.
  1. Amanda's American Civil War Day Wear (Wool Sacque, Cotton Blouse, Cap, Collar)
  2. Civil War Morning Wrapper - sew the trim
  3. Mike's New Armored Shirt for Western Martial Arts (cut)
  4. Corded Petticoat
  5. Silk Italian Renaissance Dress
  6. Fix buttons on Mike's ACW Lt. Commander's Uniform, my Sharpshooter Frock, my Canvas Duster
 Amanda will be over soon so we can work on her new dress project and so far I think the look will be a good one for her.

For the next coming week I will have to set some of my lofty goals aside and work on my SCA Arts and Sciences Entry for North Oaken Regional A&S that's coming up in a few weeks.  I'm working on a small Monumental Brass, but I won't reveal the design until after the item was judged at Regional.  I'm really looking forward working on this project.  Wonder what a monumental brass is?  Take a look at this website for some basic information.
