Post-Christmas A&S results list

This was the plan, and this is how far I got:

Scrolls x 4 - ended up doing scrolls x 3, thanks to a change in requests, but successfully finished.

 Largesse list
- Veil pins - old favourite - nope, not in the mood for beads this season
- - Finishing pouches 
- sewing
- eyelets
- braiding or plying cords
- assembly
Cards with Romanesque initials:  lots - am now set to gift the next three reigns as well as this one, and not burned out. Very pleased.
- Handkerchiefs - hemmed: got one done
- leather pouches: several 
- cutting
- braiding

Also: A couple of small belts for demoisels in the shire - a last-minute addition, that resulted in Robert doing most of the hard work

'Me' list
- Finishing current fencing hood - hemming: done
- finishing new fencing hood - pressing, cutting out, sewing, hemming: ho ho ho...Merry Ambitions!
- new fencing gowns - pressing, cutting out, sewing, hemming (still debating weights of linen to use - still don't have a punch tester nearby): more ho ho ho ho...

- refreshing plum gown: in progress
- new neckline - drawn
- reworking eyelets, possibly without heavy facing - not doing all of them, just the ones that need it
- lining sleeves, possibly with fur - now adding a fur hem - lining sleeves may or may not happen before end of month

The fur is courtesy of two fur coats, that Robert sweet-talked out of a charity shop some years ago. 
I think they're both rabbit, but honestly don't know: I don't have a lot of experience with furs. One is 3/4 length ladies coat of mostly brown, arranged in horizontal bands (pale at the top, getting darker towards the bottom of the band).

I've taken apart two of the bands,and found that together they will more than do the hem of the gown (measures 130" at bottom, but probably less 5" up from the bottom). The plan is to run a piece of cloth tape along the top edge, and attach that to the gown, but it'll depend on how long it takes to attach the cloth tape.

Also: more piecing on the undergown, so the hem actually sits evenly: in progress
Also: a pair of fake sleeves, to tack to the undergown, to save myself the work of actually adding full sleeves to the undergown: in progress

If the fur edging works, it'll be the most luxurious gown I own (after the Cranach).
None of the following - just idle holiday dreams!

- finishing 16thc shirt
- finishing 16th c doublet
- lightweight partlet
- finishing wool cap with brim stiffener

I did do more knitting - but ripped out at least as much as I knit. DROPS have tricksy ways of explaining their patterns; they make sense, but it means a lot of thinking for yourself.
Following the instruction 'make a second side front, mirror image to the first' isn't as clear as you might think.

SO: all in all, some progress, but more slacking than anticipated.
