Will it be ready in time?

We decided to bring some wood that had been in storage for two years or so when visiting Nattfari's grandparents in their summerhouse this weekend.

Yesterday we started on a rope bed, but didn't quite finish. Today I have been at work, and Nattfari has had other things to do as well.

I really hope we can finish it before Visby medieval week!

White gifts

I made a new chemise for me. There was enough fabric left for a shirt for Nattfari, but not really for a decent legngth chemise, so I made a shirt. Visby medieval week is a long event, so an extra shirt for him  to change with could be nice.

I also made a new coif for Nattfari. He only had one and it was a bit on the small side so I hope that the new one will be better. He was away when I cut the fabric so the size is a bit of guesswork.

Mending stuff

With less than two weeks until we leave for Visby Medieval Week there won't be much fancy new stuff being done, but some mending of old stuff and perhaps some new underwear. I have started on a new St. Bridget's cap since the one I currently have is made from a cotton fabric, and I also think I need another chemise.

This is one of Náttfari's hoses, and there seems to be a big gap between the foot part and the upper part. I will now spend a couple of minutes sewing that shut, since Náttfari himself is away and will probably not have time to fix it when he returns next weekend. Or rather, if he has time to fix things, there are other things I would prefer that he did. While sewing I'm watching the first season of The Tudors.

Less is less

I had a cheap fabric that I had intended to make an inner floor from if and when I got a bigger pavillion. Now the day had come to actually do that. 

It's just that there was nowhere near as much fabric as I had thought, only about six metres. When I bought it I got what was left of it in the store, so at least there is no remorse about not having bought more. We will still need carpets, though.
