Preparing for Tocal
I also took my black dress apart. I knew that I'd lost some weight but I didn't realise how much until I grabbed the front of it the last time I wore it and was able to get whole handful of loose fabric. So I've taken the bodice off from the skirt. It shouldn't take long to take it in, as long as I don't have to deconstruct too much, hopefully it will just be a matter of resewing the front edges and no messing with side seams. I also want to add a couple of shoulder rolls, as the silouette isn't quite right.
I also need to fix my arch brimmed hat. The crown got wreaked, but I have a spare, so it should just be a matter of swapping crowns out.
And finally, I am going to make a leather pouch for the winner of the tourney. If the past is anything to go by, nothing has been organised yet.

A7 Khaki and Brown Journal
A7 Khaki and Brown leather journal with 110gsm paper. Waxed linen tackets and linen thread for the tie and leather button closure.
I stuffed this one up and put the spine holes in the wrong spot, so the cover wraps around the wrong way. But I figured someone might want it.
NOTE: To answer a question in the comments, yes, I am selling these journals. This one is the first one I've listed on Etsy - http://crescentshire.etsy.com/
