Elsa Gowne. It begins.

[sister_raphael]

And so it begins! I've started sewing the palest blue early 14th century gowne, which, I've christened my "Elsa Gowne" as it's of the colour palette of Frozen. It's funny how most of my garments end up with some kind of a nickname, like the Ham Kirtle (ham-coloured pink.)

I was hoping to have minimal sewing for this one, but after cutting it out and wriggling it around on the available fabric, I decided that extra gores would make it very nice, and why not a train as well for when it's not being worn under the spotty surcote which also has a train? I mean, why not?

I've so far stitched one side of one gore with a running stitch and started stitching it down, but it's on hold for a few more days while I focus on other things. I just wanted an easy, no brainer project to do instead of having to concentrate on other things.

That's a gorgeous blue.

We all know that pink was a terribly masculine colour and certainly not for girls!
