I finally have pictures! I don’t remember when I finished this…last month or this. I used McCall’s 5499.
I also made the belt. I sewed one end of a length of ribbon around a key ring and hemmed the other end to keep it from unraveling.
McCall’s patterns are on sale for 99 cents each at Hobby Lobby this week, so we went today. I bought nine, including a replacement for the Renaissance skirt pattern that I lost a couple of pieces to. Here are the patterns:
Renaissance Skirt
Knight Costume (it has that V-shape of the Ithilien ranger tabards)
Renaissance Dress
Another Dress
Women’s Medieval and Renaissance hats
Medievalish dress
Easter costumes (for the Roman cloak and armor)
Shirt (I like version A)
Dress (to be altered for my inspired-by Susan’s overdress)
God bless!

Greetings,
oh! so pretty… I like it..it is fun, yet elegant too. Was that some of the suede fabric you found at walmart once? Very nice..
Good pattern list. Don’t you love it when they go on sale? we don’t have a hobby lobby otherwise I would go to that sale too…
So when are you going to make your inspired by Susan’s overdress? It would be fun if you could make inspired by versions at the same time…
I hope you have a good day,
Brielle
P.S.
I will be updating soon, lots of new pictures I need to load online first…that takes a while… lol…

Greetings,
oh,…well, the fabric looked like suede
I agree, it is the best way to buy patterns when they are $1, otherwise they are to much. I’ve only bought a few full price ones as well.
Well, I don’t know when I shall make the Susan dress yet… I have orders stacked up until end of October, but sometime after that I’m thinking of making it. So not really sure when, so are you starting on yours soon?
ya.. up date are in the works! I’m working on the Arwen Battle Costume today, so I think I shall do some updates during breaks.
I hope you have a good week,
Brielle
