Ta-dah!

1 week. 1 yard of denim and twill. 3 yards of linen. Grommets.  Some ribbon.  Result?

A rockin' Renn Faire!

(Hopefully this is a good omen for the rest of my projects this year . . .)

Did my cutting out while watching BBC's "Robin Hood"



Cap was whipped-up by Sami in the car on the way :-)  Red petticoat was finished Monday night.  The vest, with green edging and yellow ribbon over the boning in the front, was finished at 9am the day-of ;-P
