Check-In Post May 30th 2021

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I've been super busy. I patterned a historic Polish overjacket for a friend and did the mock up which didn't go like the pattern said. late night needed to get that pinned and fitted and extra back seam flounces added. I'm ready to cut the fabric now.

I had a lot of issues with linings and in the end cut up a sideless surcote lining (that's a sideless surcote in the icon picture, sort of an apron overdress) which I had almost finished sewing into a surcote for myself because it was the same fabric and I needed more, and yesterday I managed to sew an entirely new lining out of a different silk.

Anyway, here's a picture of the top of the surcote here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CPiCKRNHoRD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

And here's a blog post about me having to start all over again with the linings. https://medievalrosalie.livejournal.com/48450.html

You really have been busy! Such a wrench having to unpick all that work, but the blue and silver look wonderful together, and I'm sure the red and cream will too.
