Last one for the night, here's a detail shot of the panes for Olive.

Cross off making a lacy male costume off my bucket list. That's 17.5 yds of lace for Olive; I'm stoked!

Pattern manipulation 101. Also, yes, that is painter's tape. It doesn't tear my paper if I have to take it off and I seriously have two rolls in my house so I'm going to use it! ...it's also holding up my time sheets and notes for my current projects, don't judge.

Started putting together Olive today. Had to get more lining fabric and few other things before full construction could begin, but I'm moving along pretty well now. Here's a peek at what the doublet is starting to look like. 

My dining room light makes everything look a bit more orange that what it really looks like. :/

Ok, here's a better update for everyone. While the first Ren Faire garb that I was working on is still now quiet finished (from here on out dubbed Navy Ren), I've started working on the second garb (dubbed Olive Ren). Yes, there's a third, but fabric has yet to be purchased for it. >.<

Anyway, here's a look at the design for Olive.
 


The left sleeve is the sleeve for the doublet while the other is the sleeve for the shirt. Also the colors are reversed since my color research was a bit behind compared to my labeling. Oh well, design changes happen! Now to go contend with the pile of fabric.
Crud on my good iron, have to use the crappier expensive iron. That's right my $7 iron beats out a $20 iron.
