Looking over old LJ entries, it seems to be that April 7th is my traditional day of, "Holy shite, I've got a metric butt-tonne of sewing to do before faire opens this weekend, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" and/or swearing

This year will be no different.  At current count I have one shirt (started) to finish, two pirate coats, two chemises and one chemise to repair.  I will probably only get the shirt and one pirate coat done by this weekend.

I am so far behind that I'm bringing bits of my sewing to work.  Today I packed up all the fabric and pattern pieces for one of the coats, and took advantage of all the space in the lobby to lay it out and cut.  Tomorrow I may do the same with the other coat, or, bring in the chemise I need to fix and the shirt I need to grommet.

WHY do I do this every year?  WHY don't I just start sewing for faire in January!?!

On the up-side, this will get me five pieces closer to my ideal Faire wardrobe, which means less sewing in the future.  *goes to look at her ideal wardrobe list and smiles*

I already have nine pieces of garb that are on my dream garb list.  I'm working on six more.  Five more will eventually be purchased, 'cause I'm not making them!  And I have a number still to make that aren't in process.  Plus then a shite-tonne of garb to get rid of that I don't want any more.

The end result I'm hoping for is a garb collection full of pieces I adore as opposed to merely tolerate, that all look good together, that all look good on me, and can cover pretty much any situation, be it weather, theme or terrain.

Yes, I am an ambition girl, why do you ask?
