Just recently I finally got a tiny oven just for firing my clay, but even when I'm a-cookin' up a zibie head (boy, that just sounds wrong!) I can just open the outside door and my little room stays all nice and cool!<br /><br />I actually made sleeves a little while ago, a pair for my old brown and black gown (finally! lol) and a pair for my upcoming new purple kirtle. Yes. Holly actually used a sewing machine. Did I mention that I HATE SEWING??? But, in an effort to try to get over my sewing loathing (hey, that's kinda fun to say!), I have decided to do the Artemisian Costuming Challenge. Noelle, I really hope you don't hate me before it's done! ;)HollyIggyMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487011485573550992.post-76688956140999348612011-06-24T11:51:52.798-07:002011-06-24T11:51:52.798-07:00Oh, and I know what you mean by neglected!

Once you sew them together, they become the S, but doing it in two pieces allows for more manipulation in fitting. Mine aren't super tight fitting, as I do want to be able to move well (camp garb), but also because being lined in linen they won't slide on as easily as my slippery silk dressy ones. I did read somewhere that you can start a pattern by simply laying your arm in a very slightly curved angle on the paper and tracing it, and go from there.Crystal aka Jaquelinnehttp://cobalt-dragonfly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487011485573550992.post-54840091940766493112011-06-24T11:24:09.420-07:002011-06-24T11:24:09.420-07:00Sleeves!

I want really fitted arms, and don't have a sleeve pattern yet.Britney Mortensonhttp://profiles.google.com/britneymortensonnoreply@blogger.com
