Hubby's "Thunder"hosen

Leave it to my husband to call period clothing by the most ridiculous name he can think of.... ;-)

Le Sigh

So, I thought I'd be an enterprising little wench and make my hubbys shirt while he was away. I mean, shirts are like one size fits all, right? I even had his measurements.

But sure enough, it doesn' t fit. I'm such a lazy shirt maker....they always come out a bit crappy cuz i get bored and basically decide "screw this, it goes under the outfit anyway". Bad. Bad Julie. Now hubby's got an unfinished shirt that strangles his armpits, and is kinda funky round the neck.....Trogdor is magestic, though.

Would larger gussets help, you think? Or should I just start over? *kicks self* I will be getting friendly with mr. ripper, it seems...

In better news, I've been playing with thread covered buttons for this costume. I figure i'll use em on the shirt and doublet closures. I like this design. Mostly cuz its one i could actually figure out how to do without looking craptastic. Ew, my cuticles could use some TLC.
