I spent much of last night combing the Googleweb for insight into how to build a gamurra and a gironea (your documentation was high on the list, salviati!) and I think I just might be able to knock a couple of these out before Pennsic. I can adjust my fitted kirtle "pattern" into a fitted gamurra bodice, adjust the sleeve pattern a bit, and play with attaching a gathered skirt into a bodice. The linen I'll use will be extremely downscale for my persona, but I'd rather be comfortable than gorgeous. :) And I'll look the part of an Italian person. Whoo hoo! I am so excited about making a new-to-me style of clothing.

In semi-related news, I've resubmitted a name change with the Golden Dolphin Herald. In seven months or so I'll (hopefully) officially be Signora Pippa Morosini; in the meantime, people are getting used to calling me Pippa instead of Millicent. I like it. :)

Wanna have a sewing day? ;D

You bet! I'm available any Saturday or Sunday before Land Grab except July 4. What works for you?

[tattycat.livejournal.com]

I have pretty much the same schedule. I'm pretty sure we're both open this Sunday, even. I was thinking it would be fun for the guys to hang out together too (and also suggested to J that they do so while we're at Pennsic, too).

Sunday works for me. Noonish?

[tattycat.livejournal.com]

Noonish works! I'll dig up something tasty to bring along.

[melaniesuzanne.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I'll send you an email with directions and whatnot. What is your non-alcoholic bevvie of choice?

[tattycat.livejournal.com]

I'm easy with beverages-- I'll drink pretty much any kind of juice, pop, water, etc.

Small warning: there may be a cake. My birthday is Thursday.

[melaniesuzanne.livejournal.com]

Yay, cake! =)

If it's done at our house I have swords. :-)

I'm going to call J tonight. I meant to last night but things got away from me.

As much as I'd love to have you guys over here, if anything is to be done AT ALL involving moving off the couch, our apt. is way too small. We'll bring the nibblies, though ;)
