Mady's Bloggy Thingy: Refashioning An Old Viking Tunic
http://clothofstars.blogspot.com/2015/07/refashioning-old-viking-tunic.html
The sewing and crafting blog of Lady Madylyne Grey. Refashioning An Old Viking Tunic. Back in 2012 I made a [half-assed] Viking outfit for the Battle of Ethandune event in the barony of Bjornsborg. I haven't worn it much since then - maybe twice in the past three years. I wore the white tunic with everything, though; at some point I dyed it green. Over the weekend, I dug out the last of my fabric dye stash - which just happened to be a dark blue-green, and threw this thing into the sink. I'm finishing up...

Mady's Bloggy Thingy: November 2014
http://clothofstars.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The sewing and crafting blog of Lady Madylyne Grey. As Promised (For Once). The first of three of my Florentine outfits from BAM weekend. This one's my new Caerleon livery, a refit of what was originally going to be black and silver. Photo by Simona della Luna. Long hair wrap inspired by this. After a bunch of ridiculous trial and error with the sewing machine and various scrap fabric, I finally realized I could just do this with my plain, long, silk gauze veil that I use for everything. Evidently I forg...

Mady's Bloggy Thingy: S'Mo Viking Stuff
http://clothofstars.blogspot.com/2015/07/smo-viking-stuff.html
The sewing and crafting blog of Lady Madylyne Grey. More hand stitching on my old Viking clothing, at which I'm still plodding away in my spare time. I've been using this stuff as a brain-break between commission projects, so it's going very slowly, but it'll all be ready to wear this fall. New blue stitching in my coat. It replaced this stuff - which is mostly picked out in this pic,. But MAN what an awful color. Idk what I was thinking. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Mady's Bloggy Thingy: December 2014
http://clothofstars.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The sewing and crafting blog of Lady Madylyne Grey. Gold Swiss/German Linen Kirtle. It's also usually a themed event. This year the theme is Landsknecht, on the road to war (Gulf Wars, in March). Landsknecht dress, or at least German-styled clothing in general, is encouraged (but not mandatory). Though I've sworn for five years that I'll never "go German," here is my first one, to wear during the day at the event. Barbara Erlach and daughters,. I was originally going to close the vertical slit with butto...

Mady's Bloggy Thingy: June 2015
http://clothofstars.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
The sewing and crafting blog of Lady Madylyne Grey. First Up: Not Remotely SCA-Related. Here's the muslin that I draped up on my mannequin while developing the pattern, pinned together and covered with Sharpie notes. I did this back in March; when I made the dress yesterday, I actually had to bring both dress and mannequin down by two whole sizes, yay! More sewing from Mundania:. A simple peasant blouse with elastic neck. And cuffs, made with my medieval chemise pattern. A drawstring "pillowcase" top (not.

Pushing Furniture: July 2015
http://pushingfurniture.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Something From Practically Nothing. I may feel like it at times, but I'm not. I promise. There's not much going on at my house at the moment aside from sewing. Because of the new job, I got really. Behind in my costuming work, so I've done almost nothing else since the end of June, trying to get caught up. I'm just about there - my last commission for the summer should be out the door by the end of this week, and I only have two to get done in August, thank goodness. What's Going On Right Now:. Other tha...

Pushing Furniture: "New" Furniture For the Craft Room
http://pushingfurniture.blogspot.com/2015/08/new-furniture-for-craft-room.html
Something From Practically Nothing. New" Furniture For the Craft Room. Playing the sliding-tiles game with furniture in my house again:. A giant armoire full of towels and sheets in my bedroom, which was in my way, and was also inaccessible to my roommate when I was asleep in there. A mostly-empty hall closet. Some slapdash shelves on a corner wall in my craft room, full of boxes of fabric and supplies, and surrounded by piles of same on the floor. So, what do I do with fourteen 5-gal plastic boxes?

Pushing Furniture: I Made A Thing!
http://pushingfurniture.blogspot.com/2015/04/i-made-thing.html
Something From Practically Nothing. I Made A Thing! Actually, I made a bunch of things. I made my bedroom clean. (And re-arranged the furniture). And then I made my sewing room clean. (And rearranged the shelving). Pics of all that soon. For now, though: my sewing chair reeeeally needed an update. I re-covered the back of it when I brought it home from the as-is bin at Ikea, waaaaay back in October of 2011. It was.beige. So office-y. Is that not some crazy grandma-riffic fabric? Because the top of the.

Pushing Furniture: August 2015
http://pushingfurniture.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Something From Practically Nothing. Something I Want Out of Something I Don't Want. I loved my dining room table. I really did. Thing is, I never used it as a dining table. It was too small to seat more than 2-3 people comfortably, and since when do I have dinner parties? I made myself a little time-out corner in the dining room, instead. A couple of extra tub chairs that didn't fit in the living room, and the [antique? Labels: before and after. A "New" China Cabinet For the Dining Room. The bottom half ...

Pushing Furniture: February 2015
http://pushingfurniture.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Something From Practically Nothing. OkWho Had 'Two Months'? That would be the sound of my BFF pretending to have taken bets on how long it takes me to completely re-do something once I've finished re-doing it, LOL. She's kinda right. In this case, it's the new bedroom from back in November:. Between the closet, dresser, and armoire, I have all the storage I need. I love the colors, the curtains, and the way the room works both visually and functionally. So what needed changing? And so I cut down the post...
