And I am not ready, in no way shape or form. I am absolutely freaking out, much more than I have in previous years. You see, Covid made everyone take a break in 2020, so Pennsic was cancelled. There was an un-official Pennsic like event at the same area last year, but we opted to stay home. Now with the world opening up, still masking, testing, getting vaccinated and boosted, we are heading home after 2 long years. I am so excited , yet so nervous.
First, lets start with the fact that Max outgrew a good 90% off his garb, and Charlotte outgrew 99.9% of hers. So I was left with a challenge. Sew 2 pieces of garb for them a day for Pennsic starting on 7/5 and pushing through. Thankfully I pushed out 4 simple t-tunics for my son on the first day, and that set the pace of everything. It also helped having a list of what I needed to make.
For my son, he needed at least 10 tunics; a mix of classic t-tunics, and roman style tunics; as well as pajamas, shower clothes, and other things. Charlotte needed about t tunics/tunic dresses as well. I used A LOT of linen these past two weeks. And for my Wesley, he needs a long length roman tunic made of a heavier weight linen to keep him warm while I work the KWC Bacchanal Party.
I’ll have a post soon with some images, but in the mean time check out my Instagram and you can see what I have been working on and what I’ve been up to there!
