Now that it's been worn by the owner, I can share pictures of my latest sewing commission. Sir Daveed Korup had an old coat he had bought in the Middle East many years ago which was threadbare, and wanted something special to wear for the 40th anniversary of his knighting.

I disassembled the old coat and repurposed the embroidery for the cuffs and stand-up collar, and used some of the striped silk for the front lining. The outer fabric was a fringed cotton bedspread he supplied. His device is primarily appliqued fabric, with the ermine spots and rose stem and leaves in fabric paint.

I think we're both pretty pleased with how it turned out 😊

Good meeting with a sewing commission client this afternoon. He brought fabric, photos and ideas - we bounced thoughts off each other to come up with a design concept I think we're both happy with.
It's going to be a lot of work, with a fairly tight deadline, but I had forgotten how intriguing the creative planning could be.

Every new couple needs matching garb, right? ;-) A sideless surcoat of black cotton for me, over a linen under dress with front lacing, and a black linen tunic for him, accented with trim cut from the same patterned fabric.

I've been busy sewing in Tucson after War of the Phoenix, on garb for both my lord, myself and a client - but photos will have to wait until they're worn, except for this sneak peek of a sleeve :-)
After returning to ABQ I have a commission for a fraternal organization, and one to discuss with Daveed Korup. If there's anyone else who's been waiting, please feel free to contact me after May 1 - thanks!
