Medieval Day

The day had finally come! Medieval Day! Luci's dress was completed a week or so before the big day but then the days dragged on until it she could finally put it on for Medieval Day! The finished product came out even better than I expected, what a great feeling! My old ancient singer did it's job and can be put away for another however long until the next project comes up!

So here's some photos of my Luci looking very royal in a couple of these photos I must say. She had such a great time! They had a big banquet for lunch and she won the Archery competition and got to help dress a knight ready for battle among other things. In the evening we went back for a cup o' soup and bread and watched them dance to the dulcet tones of the recorder, drums and tamborine. Later all the "Lords and Ladies" gathered on the hill near where they were dancing and "lit" up their clay castles that they had made in class. So pretty! Everyone looked fabulous on the day both girls and boys. I think a great time was had by all.

I'm Sewing.... something

Sewing something, originally uploaded by Wendamp - Wendy P.

Yes the rumors are true, i've trudged out the old ancient Singer and am once again making my mother proud by sewing something! In fact Mum's very excited and has come over to check on my progress and offer some support!

So.... what is it?

It's a medieval gown for Luci! Her entire class is doing a Medieval unit at school and in a couple of weeks they get to wear their medieval costumes to school and then to a night-time banquet... very exciting especially for a 10 year old!

I'm NOT joking... it really is a medieval gown!

So in the meantime, I sew, and try to make as few mistakes as possible! I have been enjoying the challenge so far which is always a good thing. I'm a bit further along then what my montage shows you, in fact the bodice section is needing lace and a zip and that's about it.

I told Luc that if I made this for her I'd want to take photos which did not go down well but I figured i'll get some from Medieval day anyway and i'll keep you posted on that.

Have a great day!
