Machine Sewing an Inset Gore
I promised more on hose, but I’m feeling a bit under the weather and I’ve lost my voice, so I’ve been kicking around on the computer all day and not sewing. I did run into a set of pictures I took some time back (let’s just say the garment I made here is already handed down to a friend’s kid) for a tutorial on setting in gores with a sewing machine ( Read more... ) -
That Post About SCA Participation
Not surprised to see that LJ still has a rotten search feature. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but it still doesn't work. I'm also not great at tagging in the right way, so that I don't have hundreds of post to scroll through to find what I want ( Read more... ) -

Split and Joined Hose in the Late 14th Century
(If this post is tl;dr, skip to the end where I eventually get to my point and sum it all up.)
Hi! Long time no post! We’ve just moved to Colorado, so life is a little crazy right now. I’m hoping once we’re settled to get a bunch of stuff written that’s been kicking around in my head for a while.
In the meantime, I needed a project. I have to have ( Read more... ) -
Discovery
I got a call from Jeff this morning saying that the Discovery fly-by was happening late this morning, and that it could be seen from National Harbor (on our side of the river). I was five minutes from taking the boys to school, so I told them to go to the bathroom before we left. Edward, astute as always, said, "where are we going? We never have to ( Read more... ) -

School Daze
People keep asking how school is going, and I usually say, "it's school, you know." There's an element of that, as it sure is nice to be on break for the next week and not worry about homework or studying. But really, it's going great. I'm figuring out the quirks of my instructors, and even when they piss me off, it's a good, active type of pissing ( Read more... ) -
Why I'll Never be a Pelican
Whew, that's almost over. Some two years ago, I stepped up as chronicler for the barony, after being begged to do so. No, I wasn't begged because of my mad skilz, but rather because there really wasn't anybody else to do it. I knew I was unlikely to make meetings, but figured that as long as somebody else sent me minutes, I could managed to do it. ( Read more... ) -
KASF
Don't faint from shock, but I went to an event this weekend. On about Wednesday, I realized from internet chatter that it was near Fredericksburg, and since that was less than two hours, decided to go. We were all going to go, but Jeff bailed to work in the basement. We've found that taking one boy to an event is pretty easy, so Henry came with me ( Read more... )
