Countdown to WW 2008

Well, that's all the hemden repaired (hemds? Hemd? fear my Germglish.) Some of them are definitely getting ratty, but there's no time to replace them. Also, I'm still not completely sure exactly what's period for these gowns. Evidence is suggesting it's something a bit like the classic Italian camicia (at least for the Augsburg area), but there's very little to go on.
Onward to the gowns, or gown. I think the pink and green one might actually fit properly at last. Or, as well as it's going to. The red and yellow one will need significant alterations. Eventually, they'll probably be donated to someone in need of loud clothing, because I'm hoping to end up with more authentic stuff. But that will take much time to make, and I'll need something to wear in between. Recent evidence suggests I should also take my stuff up a social class or so, which will require greater tidiness, creation of a steuchlein, nicer aprons, etc.
I really also ought to try to get proper doors on my tent, as it's never had them yet.

Ooh.... we're becoming a very upscale tavern of ill repute, aren't we? =>

Hee. Well, only in the sense that my costume is moving from roughly "field worker" to "in the trades." Artists made a bit more than I'd previously assumed.

Ahem... the trades... *cough*... artists... well... ok, I don't really have much in the way of an innuendo to work with there, but I gave it my all. =>

Cough drop?

Probably my allergies from WW moving backwards in time. Stupid flaws in the fabric of space and time...
