A Clue...

A few teaser pictures of one of my current projects.


Recent fabric acquisition - vintage ecru/silver brocade labeled 'Camelot'.

The full story shall be told (with lots of pictures and pattern tips) during the Historical Costume Inspiration Festival.


Until then....here is a clue. The dress takes inspiration from a humorous Medieval movie. Can you guess?

    How cool. Is this for you to wear or for the shop?

    For me. *grin* Though I might eventually list it in the shop as a custom item example.

    The only hilarious medieval film I could think of was "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"... I think it's the Camelot part, it reminded me of it and then I couldn't get it out of my head.

    The wedding dress from Princess Bride sounds fantastic - I can't wait to see your version! That fabric looks wonderful.

    Princess Bride!!! How exciting! That is exactly what I thought when you said, "humorous medieval movie".. lol!! I can't wait to see it! Medieval has got to be my favorite time period for costumes...

    Love,

    Fiddlin Girl - what indeed? What about some of those beautiful knitted items (including my shawl) that you did from historical patterns? Hmm? I simply won't tolerate you NOT being in the contest - it's unthinkable! Oh, and hey - I'm going to call you soon! :^)

    Jayne, thank you so much, and welcome! I was just looking at your blog too and it looks lovely! Great photography and recipes!
