And because I haven't spammed enough yet

pez(Today's task is to continue editing the same report I've been editing since mid-late 2007. Forgive me for my procrastination.)

Using my last resort to solve the armwarmer-glove problem. Ordered a pair of leg warmers which hopefully will be tight enough that they won't look very loose on my arms. (Regular armwarmers aren't long enough) And then I'll wear a pair of fingerless gloves. With it all being white hopefully it won't be too obvious that I made it from two separate things.
Gotta sort out the belts on the trousers and chaps. They were such a nuisance when I wore them in August.
The Gae Bolg is still the same as the last time I posted a picture of it. Really need to get a move on and find some more foam to make the lasts of the decoration. And that goddamn blob on the top, what am I going to dooooooo. Then I need to "rust" the whole thing and spray a couple of layers of clear on top.
Okay, gotta make this one a priority since there's little time left.

White trousers. Will look into shops today. I guess white trousers aren't that practical so they're hard to find. I want a pair in men's cutting. And no I don't want linen ones dammit.
Buttons ordered for the waistcoat. Still worrying over making buttonholes. What if they don't match perfectly? What if I screw them up some other way? D:
Will try to make a cravat. Gotta see if I have the material. Not sure what colour, white I guess. Could make it same material as the waistcoat...
After doing the above, I think I'll be ready! It's just a case of wearing it all together and seeing if the shoes look all right and if I want to paint the sword on the back or not.
Faize (3 Dec, VGL if I make it in time)
Gold material arrived. It's not as light a gold as I would've liked, but still far better than all the ones I've seen in shops. This means I can finish decorating the shorts and then attach the lining and hem the thing. And do the same for the top which I'd finished constructing last night. That one is going to have a zipper on the back.
Still no idea how to do the rest yet. :D/ Will think about it when I'm done with the sewing.

Haven't started yet. XD
Hope you guys are having a more stimulating day.
