Thanks all for answering my query about pannier and sacques. That's what I thought... I was just hoping I was wrong. Still, perhaps a small pannier won't be too bad.

I've already tried pocket hoops and didn't like them. I also want to avoid the issues Kendra had with the whole hip-waist ratio thing (her saga) so I think I want to go with a full hooped pannier. Besides they would be cool for display.

I'm feeling far to lazy to scale up a pattern so I will use the new Simplicity pattern as my base. I'll have to size it down a bit but the shape looks right. I also have Hunnisett for directions and modifications if I need them. *hugs Hunnisett books*

So I just have to wait on a pattern sale...

Been working on my website the last few days so there are now lots of updates there! Mostly updated diaries but a few extras in the Study section in an attempt to have my site better reflect the info in this LJ...

Empty Pockets - finished! My first completed project of 2007.
Candy Stays - a new project with a new diary
Costumes - updated page with new/finished diaries. Also added a pending list of projects for your veiwing pleasure. :>
Study - added new pages on boning & "the Art of the Mantua Maker"
Williamsburg snapshots - newly orgnaized and a new page from our Dec 2006 visit

The new page from Williamsburg are the pics I promised you ages ago - I'd totally forgotten about that until looking up some lj tags. Opps! :>

For those you who have researched and seen the real things *ahem Suzi* - do robe a la française gowns always have that lacing in the back of the lining thing? Is there a reason I can't just have a perfectly fitted solid back to my lining?

Just wondering...

In other news I laid out my ruffled jacket pattern on the pink silk and there would be more than enough for a jacket, more than I had to work with with the linen ruffled jacket in fact. *ponders options again*
