Gails' Gypsy

I have spent some little time on the mock-up of Gail's. I have the capri pants and over-skirt, the vest, sash and headband done....sort of. Need to fit the main outfit and finish the hems of the accessories.
As usual I'm working on a shoe string, finding stuff in bins in the closet, which is my modus operandi, seems like.
I am looking around for Nancy's RF outfit...I think she is steering to the wench area, which is awesome as long as I create something to go with it. A great lady and a wench girl are two entirely different things. With a half corset I think she'd be better suited to a more casual costume.
What do I know? I am no expert. I just like to sew. I am finding it's fun to make for other people.

The Ren Fair

And so, the journey to Muskogee was made and I visited the Renaissance Fair as I had thought about for years. I'd never really wanted to go, after the first year or so, but...it was fun. Mostly. Hot. Sweated like I was running a race, which I was not.
I re-vamped Marie Antoinette and again, have no pictures. Nor do I want any. Lots of other people took photos though. That part was kind of cool.
Did get pics of the Percherons, pulling the carriage. Such gentle, sweet babies, towering over my head. I was awed when one stamped her foot, creating a small earthquake. Neato!
Yeah, I had a good time, mostly. I don't know that I'd do it again.
