Hmm.
I have very little interest or enthusiasm about sewing, the SCA, events, or the people I will run into there. Even singing isn't sparking me any more.
But I'd like to give it a few more goes before I say goodbye completely. So I think I need to start building an outfit that will keep me comfy and not make events painful.
I need a gooseboy outfit. And I'd like it for Yule. Five weeks.
What have I already got that will make this simple?
* A shirt with cuffs and collar. It's a little uncomfortable in the arm pits, but it will do for now.
* Yellow wool socks. but I'd really prefer white.
That's not much. I use to have the prefect hat, but someone nicked it at Festy.
What do I need, then:
* Big pants. Should be pretty simple. I've made 2 pairs before. Would like outa-period button fly please.
* Boots/shoes. My soft mary janes are just too early. This wants boots.
* Doublet. Removable sleeves. This may be the key to keeping my boobs in. Or perhaps I just wear a singlet. Sleeves can always be made at a later time.
* white socks.
* Look into hats.

I'd also like to explore some of the earlier boy stuff. Tights, short shorts, little U-front doublet. I've got the figure for it. And the hair. Do I have the patience to build the stripy tights?
Pros for making Gooseboy for Yule: No sleeves, can roll down socks, will be pretty quick, I have a shirt already.
Cons? T'ain't many.
Cons for making an early sexy boy for Yule: full length leggings will be warm. Doublets normally have sleeves. Tights require me to not loose my na-na.
Pros...? It would look awesome. Totally.

Guess it's time to look at a few pics, and check through the archives. Wonder if this is going to work for me?
