It's that oh so fashionable time of the year. Holiday parties, gifts,
theater season, formal dress of all eras. Maybe even a New Years Eve
ensemble What are you working on?

Mine is wearing padding, a shift, corset and pink check pocket hoops for a
sacque I am making for a lady to wear at the Venice Carnival in February
next year. There is a caraco jacket and petticoat to follow, plus three
more suits, (I have made one) a waistcoat, and three shirts for her
husband. Holiday, what holiday!?

I'm with you, Suzi. This is my busiest season, with most of my clients
wanting things for 12th Night, or Mardi Gras. Right now, Yasmine is wearing
pink striped fabric that is to be a new cover for her if I ever get a minute
to make it up. Over that is draped a royal blue wool cassock that needs to
go out the door next Thurs. Next up is an early 17th cen. court suit in
slate blue and red, trimmed in gold, made from a silk sari supplied by the
customer. Not correct for the period, but it is going to look nice. I'm
also trying to get a forest green trimmed with royal blue 17th cen. suit
done for my husband, in my copious spare time.
