The blue velvet doublet is finished.

I just need to add the waist picadills, collar and lining. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Over the next few days, I'll be working on and posting pictures of a blue velvet Renaissance Style Doublet.

I had a wonderful time today constructing my pirate head scarf. I really like the look of Jack Sparrow's head scarf in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean so I used it as my inspiration. I made the beads detachable so that the scarf can be laundered : )

Here's my final version of Eowyn's Shield Maiden vest sans trim. I decided to have it lace up the back so I can wear it to Renaissance Faires also.

I finished the shield maiden vest. I should be able to post pictures in the morning : ) It turned out really nice.

It was a beautiful day for sailing!

I just returned from vacation and I'm ready to finish Eowyn's Shield Maiden Dress. I'll post some vacation pictures after I've had my coffee : )

I've made wonderful progress on my Eowyn Shield Vest. I still need to add the bodice trim and add the grommets and lace to the back. I think I'm going to have to add a little boning to the back at the grommets for stability.

Here's a photo of the mockup of the shield maiden corset. I still need to alter the neckline from scoop to v.

I've been working on Eowyn's Shield Maiden Dress / Corset. I've decided to draft out the gathers in the front at the bustline. I also added 2 inches to the length and altered the curve at the bottom. I need to decide on trim.I will post pictures later today.
