Yarn in my Pocket: 64) The Tuesday Tudor - Always blame the medication

OK, feeling much better about this whole thing now. And I think my mini-meltdown on Thursday can be blamed, at least in part, on some weird and freaky antibiotics that I've been prescribed. The listed possible side-effects include various mood disturbances, including 'an urge to self harm'. Although I haven't suffered that particular kind of fun, I was certainly withdrawn, cranky and very much on edge for the six hours after taking a dose for the first few days. I seem to be tolerating the stuff better now, which is just as well as I have another ten days of the course to go, and I've also shifted the times I take the meds, so that I'm asleep for one of the two unpleasant periods per day, and at work for the other.

My must-do list now looks like this:

Hem petticoat - done!;
Add fastening to petticoat - done!;
Sew shoulder straps on dress - done!;
Hem dress - hem is hanging;
Make lacing for dress - in progress, and I've also found an alternative;
Organise equipment and materials for the actual demo - in progress.

Which, I think you'll agree, is much, much more sane that it was on Thursday. In addition, the partlet is nearly done, and all the machine sewing is complete on the shift.

Unfortunately, the fabric I ordered for the sleeves has not (yet) arrived, which is cutting things really fine for Sunday's demo, especially since I'll have to dye it. I might have to go for an alternative, or try adapting some that I already have. I'm going to go for a day-by-day list today, just to see how my remaining time is likely to block out:

Tuesday:

Cut hem of dress to final length
Finish cone distaff, and dress it
Attach cuffs to shift

Wednesday:

Finish partlet
Hem shift
Mark neckline for shift

Thursday:

Hem shift neckline
Attach ties to shift cuffs and coif

Friday:

Hem skirt and lining
Warp loom
Finish getting all demo materials together
Stockings??

Phew. That all looks rather achievable. It doesn't include anything about the sleeves, of course, but there should be enough wiggle-room around the edges to fit that in, as long as the fabric shows up today or tomorrow...
