#ghostmotley

The tiny ghostlet replica of me, transmogrified from a lollipop, tissue paper and chenille stems by Grace of Ilmari House at the Wizard Academy, now has a little glass dome to protect it from curious cats! #spooky #spookyghost #spookyghosts #spoopy #spooopy #spoopyghost #ghostmotley

Today I finished #handsewing all the eyelets and I put sunscreen lit rings on the 50 bells that will get attached to the #ghostmotley dagges. I also started working on the hat, the pattern for which I somehow misplaced, resulting in hours of extra work; I will have to finish the hat over the next two nights. #16thcentury #jester #fool #motley

It turns out that, if time is of the essence, an eyeglasses lanyard works perfectly as a Semmerling smile mask lanyard! #ghostmotley This pic features the very first Semmerling smile mask I ever wore as Jane the Phoole, received as a gift from Stephen Geis.

This evening's progress on the #GhostMotley! Turned and pressed 50 dagges, then started in on the eyelets on the bodice sides. I need to get these done so I can fit the shoulders, and once the shoulders are set, dagges can go on the shoulders and sleeves and the sleeves can be attached. Then I have to put split rings on 50 bells and sew bells on all the dagges. I will be sewing all weekend during the rummage! #ghostmotley #16thcentury #jester #motley #fool #handsewn #handsewing

Stomacher eyelets are DONE. Onto the 16 eyelets on the bodice itself now! #ghostmotley #fool #jester #16thcentury #handmadeclothing #handmade

4 eyelets per hour is my average speed #ghostmotley #linen #16thcentury #jester #motley #fool #handsewing #sewing

The remnant pile is safe from sudden gusts. Tony the Cat is here to manage them. #ghostmotley

Eyelets all done on one side of the stomacher! Only 24 more to do on the bodice. #ghostmotley #16thcentury #sewing #handsewing
