thanks! I had visited the renaissance tailor site, but somehow missed the tutorials down the side

thanks! some more search terms that I didn't use ... love the Dagorhir Gear patterns, they give plenty of pics for this visual learner!

I didn't string together that combo - this is way better than what I was coming up with, thanks!

I am going to be a vendor at a Renaissance Faire in early June ... along with getting product ready, I also *need* to get a costume put together ... any suggestions for a matronly figure? I have been perusing the forums, but links are broken and pics are missing and I'm getting nowhere (fast) ...

Thanks for any help!!!!

it looks beautiful!

and 100% olive takes FOREVER to trace, I can't imagine doing a batch of Castille by hand - kudos to you! (I'll use my handy-dandy stick blender!).

I think the bent thing is for following previous rows of stitching...I can't think of what it is called, but you attach it somehow to part of the foot and use it to keep your stitching lines so far apart (I could be  wrong, but the flat part of it looks  like what I use for this purpose).

very cute!

I'm going to be working on a case for my brand-spanking-new Kindle (just got it today) and you have given me some inspiration

WOW!

...my dd doodled. She loves Autumn. She is currently working on a Fantasy novel for her creative writing class and somehow the image of autumn trees and a phoenix became something she had to get out of her head and this was born:



it has nothing to do with her novel, so she had to get it out of the way before she could get back to work

I participated in a personal swap with squire_inaria and just received this lovely poppet I asked if she could make one for my dd...



based on this design (from said dd):



I have to admit that squire_inaria noticed more details than I did!

I plan to give this to my dd for her birthday

Thanks for swapping!
