[Steppes] Re: Work Party for 12th night

[Chiara]

Howdy! Thanks for asking.

7:30 is the time, we need you all, just you all physically there, no stuff, we got stuff. :)

Here are all the dates of the work parties and they will all be at Elspeth's home: Nov 20, Dec 11 and Dec 18.

Here is the process. There are two pieces, the front and the back, no seperate hand from cuff. We draw and pin them on the whole one piece of fabric (folded in half so that we have a back and front to the glove), cut out sections (not the glove) in the numbers of people that are there plus the number that are going to show up to pick up, hand each person a stencil, let them choose the paints from Lavina (by the time we get to this point she will arrive with the paints), start painting. After all the paint is dry (very quick dry stuff), start sewing the pieces down THEN cut them out. The stitching goes on the outside of these. They will be big enough so that those with embroidery scissors can slip their encased scissors inside these. :)

The stencils are inspired from pictures linked below and the elizabethan one with acorns so that there is a variety in pattern as well as color.

If anyone cannot make any of these sessions but would still like to help please email me so that I can have a kit for you at Populace on thursday. (Populace is at James and Karen's home on thursday at 7:30).
