GNW Tasks - 16th Century Outfit

First of all refer to previous post in regards to GNW Tasks.

So maybe I won't have the time to get a whole outfit done, that is ok, I will take Stanzi's advice and try to make a shirt. Once I have a gotten a few other bits and pieces out of the way I will make a start on an embroidered shirt to go with a German Frock I have the fabric for. Well the frock I want to make is actually Swiss but then the Swiss at the time were heavily influenced by German fashion anyway.

Here is a similar frock to the one above.

I have the fabric for the shirt and the embroidery silk as well, I just need to decide on a pattern for the embroidery.

For the main frock the fabric I have an olive green wool and I would like to use a burgundy in either a heavy wool or velveteen for the guards.

When I get actually get a start on the abovementioned shirt I will post a picture of my chosen embroidery pattern.

GNW Tasks

For the last two years at Great Northern War I was invited to come along to the MoralezBeaumont Household meeting that is held at Great Northern War everyyear. The first year I attended was in 2008 where the members of my household just sat and observed the goings on.

Every year MoralezBeaumont set themselves tasks for the following year. Last year the friends of MoralezBeaumont were also invited to set tasks for themselves to achieve over the next 12 months.

I set myself three:
To become authorised as a heavy Fighter
Enter a 16th C costume in Laurel Prize Tourney
Take up a craft that she hasn't done before

Of the three tasks so far I have only achieved becoming authorised as a heavy fighter, YAY!

Time will tell if I achieve the other two, but it is looking somewhat doubtful at this stage.
