Designs for His Lordship Lukas

Here is the design I am going for, for His Lordship's Maroon & Gold Court Waffenfrock. I don't have a lot of time to draw them out completely...though I might do it on the road today) so I used the images from the Reconstructing History patterns that I am going to try out. I couldn't quite find the right color of maroon, so I got as close as I could, and dyed it (more on that tomorrow). I then purchased 3 yards of a cotton gold brocade that I will use for the base of the hat, and cut the remainder into 3" strips for the trim. I think this will look really nice.

Here is a picture of the plunderhosen set I will be making. It will be done in Red & Black with a matching Black Starfish Hat. I am not sure what happened to the image when I exported it, will figure that out latter.








Here is the final outfit I will be making Lukas for Lilies. Once again, not sure what happened to the image, I will figure it out when I have a second. However you get the main jist. This will be black and gold wool, with varying colored linen hosen. In case you haven't guessed, Lukas's colors are black and gold. However, when we went to go buy wool, we couldn't find black or gold...Hence having way to much experience in professional dying, I once again got as close as I could and dyed the rest. Though tomorrow I will post on my dying practices, I would like to make one note. DON'T USE RIT DYE ON WOOL. In order to get a full coverage, THAT WON'T FADE OR RUN, you need to use Acid Dye. Don't worry it really doesn't have acid in it, it doesn't cost that much more (in fact I find it cheaper), and it is really easy to use.
