... I bought his book and CD – a course in learning A.S. – so will try and get around to it asap!

Tacking 1 month ago

I decided to tack (loosely stitch with modern cotton) my dress together… Except it didn’t want to stay together. I tried it on after tacking you see and when I came to take it off I heard the dreaded sounds of popping stitches. I don’t know whether I’d sewn my dress too small or whether I should’ve sewn it together a bit stronger. I managed to do this twice over.

... Once more, the pieces of my under-dress are folded up on my blanket box til I can face it again :(

Curry Club... 1 month ago

Tried the new veggie curry at Weatherspoons… Not a big fan of it but at least I tried something new :/

I led a clan course on leatherworking on my own the other day! I made basic leather pouches with the 5 of them… Had to help them punch the holes and start off the lacings to pull it all together though. But yeah, not bad being able to lead the course after having made a pouch like it a year and a half ago!

Made a slide show advertising our business to be e-mailed to schools in the area that we haven’t contacted yet.

Went to the battle of Hastings re-enactment as a spectator this year (instead of being in the show) as Conquest and Regia weren’t taking part. Had lots of fun and found a really cheap wooden plate -only £3.50 rather than the usual £6/7! – Huzzah for having my own eating kit for the next show I go to rather than sharing Andy’s!
