First ever scroll

I have been going to Scribes on a Monday night at Baroness Branwen's place and having a lot of fun. I finished my first AoA scroll a few weeks ago - you can find it here

My next one is a GA and should be finished next week. I have learned lots of stuff and after this scroll will move onto Calligraphy (as I wont be able to get there on a Monday as often once uni is back and Calligraphy is something I can easily do at home). I am planning a page for my Quest that will have something about why my name is changing to Helen.

Other projects I am working on currently include a new cotehardie: pattern finalised and seams sewn ready for flat felling; English gown: all finished minus handsewing on the trim, attaching the sleeves and sewing the fastening and the badger badger badger badger bunting :D So I have plenty of brainless stuff to do this week while drugged up thanks to wisdom teeth removal (yaay codeine!)

Will also get some pictures up of the emerging products of the "Taking garb to the next level" workshops I've been doing with collegey people as I'm very proud of them all :D

Crow Dress
























Crow dress! Black linen dress with puffed and paned sleeves with a striped chemise and lightly roped petticoat underneath.

Here its sitting a little funny because its not quite done up all the way. I didn't notice before but it looks like one sleeve is a little bit smaller than the other one...Also the petticoat is a little bit narrow but as it was only a test run of the use of rope it doesn't matter so much.
