The green front lacing overdress of my "celtic ensemble" is now completely trimmed and ready for faire. I had to abandon hope of getting more of the same trim I used around the bottom of the skirts, when it finaly did get replenished at JoAnn's, it was a totaly different color green and absolutly NOT usable. So I was forced to pick something different, but coordinating, which I did and it looks grand... Yeah, this will make a lot more sence once I get some pictures taken and put up here, hopefully tomorrow. My lord husband has sworn he will take pictures for me tomorrow and I plan to hold him to it!

Whilst I was waiting unknowingly for the aforementioned unusable trim to get restocked, I made another skirt to go with the green overdress, so now I have 3 different combinations using the green overdress, huzzah! One plaid, one golden yellow, and the burgady skirt from last season. Mix and match ren wear, my favorite! I also started another emsemble, not on my original list for this season, that is completely made of stash fabrics. My fellow fabricholics will be so proud... Actually, what happened was after I finished Lady Taylor's green dress I went looking for the items needed to start the next item on he list, only to realize I didn't have all the necessary materials to complete any of my projects. Each one was missing a vital item so I had nothing to sew and after a day or so I was just desperate to make something, anything! So I dug through the piles of fabric literally littering the floor of what used to be the computer room and found bodice material and skirt materials that coordinated together and were in sufficient quantity. I already have 1 of the pair of skirts finished except for the hem and guard at the bottom...
This is the bodice fabric (it is wavy and cool, see!)

and this is one of the skirts

Sorry the pics turned out dark, I tried to correct it, but the colors turned bright eye burning orange when I did... So you get the slightly dark ones, but you get the idea...

The underskirt will be the same fabric only because the fabric is a tad on the thin side and I don't want see through skirts (sorry guys, but you would thank me for it really!). The overskirt I am going to put a guard at the bottom of the bodice fabric if there is enough, which there should be unless I foul something up real bad...

I think the bodice fabric began life as a curtain, it came from a box in the basement of my one gramdmother's house, the skirt fabric was a $1/yd walmart bargain fabric (as it was only a dollar, I of course bought 10 yards, completly logical...right). I have dubed this my "stash ensemble" because 'uplanned project' just sounded to unwanted...
