Paradoxically, or perhaps ironically, I can't go to sewing tonight because I have too much sewing to do.

And here I was planning to bring the combs so you can see what I am doing. Oh well. Next week. I am looking forward to seeing your outfit.

[maatling]

Ok, ok. I'll come tonight. I'll be a little late cause I have to run home and walk the dog first. Will you guys help me rip the pieces for my undertunic?

[duchessletitia]

You do not have to come if you do not have time. I would rather have you finish your clothes. My stuff can wait until later.

What do you mean by "rip the pieces"?

[maatling]

No no no. I want to come. Maybe I can get the pieces ripped and pinned here today and I can finish the trim on the black tunic at Eilis'.

As to your second question, I learned a long long time ago that cotton and linen (and most silk) rips way straighter than I could ever cut it and, boy-Viking garb being mostly rectangles, the only things I ever cut are the gussets and gores. Everything else gets ripped. AND if I take a moent to collect some threads from the ravelled edges then I have a bunch of perfectly colored thread for the hand sewing parts.
