Sewing Project Schedule???

 I  need a way to distribute Costume Sewing, Clothing Sewing, and Gift Sewing/Orders... Plus some time to empty the box of UFOs. My idea: Each week pick something to work on an ideally finish, but rotate weeks between the categories.

Week 1: Costume Piece
Week 2: Clothing Piece
Week 3: Gift/Order Piece
Week 4: UFO Piece

To that end, here are the pieces:

Costume	Clothing	Gift/Order	UFO
·        Green Leaf Skirt ·        Green Leaf Bodice ·        Hexie Forepart ·        Gold Apron ·        Pirate Coat Mods ·        Bernadette Shirt ·        Cincher ·        Black Skirt ·        Blue/Tudoro dual forepart ·        R&H Bodice (reversible Black/Tudoro) ·        Tartan/Tudoro stomacher ·        Tartan Hat ·        Tudoro sleeves ·        Tudoro skirt ·        Blue Parasol repairs ·        Mermaid dye ·        Mermaid skirt ·        Mermaid shirt ·        Mermaid belt ·        Mermaid crown ·        German Shirt (J) ·        German Shirt (A) ·        Short Hose (J) ·        Short Hose (A) ·        Tellerbarett (J) ·        Tellerbarett (A) ·        Arming cap ·        Wulsthaube ·        Arming Gown OR Wams ·        Hosen (if Wams) ·        Cranach gown ·        Smocked Apron	·        Molina Tunic (??) ·        Marigold – Red Kleinia revamp ·        Marigold – Rainbow ·        Luna Cami – Silver ·        Luna Cami – Red silk ·        Maker apron ·        Peppermint Skirt ·        Oleander dress ·        Terra/Brassia – Blush Pink ·        Calendula – Black ·        Cadia – Sewing Supplies ·        Cassia Skirt – Black velvet	·        Andrea – Doll ·        Lacey – Doll ·        Brittany – Toy (?) ·        Katelyn – Doll ·        Andrea – Bloomers x3 ·        Lacey - Bloomers x3 ·        Katelyn - Bloomers x3 ·        Katelyn – Shorts x3	·        Rose Shorts ·        See Box ·        Josh Sleeveless Shirt

So... There are 3 years of costume pieces if I work on only 1 thing per week, but I'd like to have these all done by Festival next year... Some of them can be combined - 2 German shirts and a pirate shirt in a week, 2 pairs of hose, arming cap and wulsthaube, a hat and a crown, etc. Some of the costume pieces are already in progress. The green leaf skirt and the gold apron both only need waistbands. The hexie forepart only needs stitched together. That said, the Arming Gown or Wams und Hosen and the Cranach Gown are probably going to take more than a week a piece...

I need to make a real plan.

Costume Schemes

 I need to write these out and organize the ideas some. This overwrites all previous costume scheme posts unless specifically mentioned. Items in bold need work. Items in italics need Hubby's assistance.

Plague Revamp:

Current costume consists of: patchwork coat, golden hood, golden gloves, white chemise, moth corset, brown salwar pants, Plague Mask, and wet felted hat.

Change to: Green leaf skirt, green leaf bodice, hexie-patch forepart, golden hood, golden gloves, golden apron, white chemise, Plague Mask, and wet felted hat.

Action items:

1. Attach waistband to skirt
2. Finish cutting/tipping/inserting bones into bodice
3. Bind bodice
4. Set grommets for bodice
5. Cut/press/place ~8 more hexies for forepart
6. Stitch together forepart hexies
7. Attach waistband to apron 

Pirate Revamp:

Current costume consists of: patchwork coat, white chemise, moth corset, brown salwar pants, mini-hat, head scarf, brown woven belt, sword and frog.

Changes required: Coat - remove sleeves and face armscyes, cut slit up back to waist and face, open sides and set grommets for laces, set doily in center back as vent. Pieces needed: Bernadette pirate shirt, corseted cincher (Aranea Black "Anna"??), leather belt.

Action items:

1. Remove coat sleeves and face armscyes
2. Cut and face coat center back slit to waist
3. Open side seams to hips, face, set grommets, and lace
4. Cut and face back "vent" with hoop and stitch in doily
5. Make waist cincher
6. Make Bernadette pirate shirt
7. Determine leather belt phrase 

House Pride (optional): Not doing this one. Silver won't match the green/brown of the new Plague pieces.

Alternate use for Plague Revamp skirt and bodice. Requires: Silver/grey chemise, silver brocade forepart, silver and green hat. - This might not work as the binding on the "green leaf bodice" is in brown.

Action items:

1. Make chemise
2. Make forepart
3. Make hat 

Tartan Peek-a-Boo:

Consists of: white chemise, hoops, black skirt, blue underskirt (forepart??), black bodice (Rabbit and Hat "Baroness") w/o straps, tartan stomacher, black-and-tartan hat.

Action items:

1. Cut, sew, hem, and pleat black skirt with no opening
2. Make skirt-hike
3. Cut open underskirt back seam and fix to be a second "forepart" - not enough circumference to fit over the hoops, but not enough visible to require full skirt. Make it pull double duty!
4. Tape Baroness pattern
5. Make Baroness bodice in black, omitting straps
1. IDEA!! Make straps removable and make bodice Tudoro-grey reversible. Incorporate Tudoro sleeves onto removable straps or leave separate if necessary
6. Make tartan stomacher (optional: reversible w/ Tudoro white/chevron markings)
7. Make pancake hat with upper-brim and lower-cap in tartan, lower-brim and upper-cap in black to match dress

A Hat

 I just got this pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/698261766/new-sewing-pattern-to-make-the-hainford?ref=hp_rf-6

There are some modifications I want to make right off the bat:
1. Reduce the size of the pattern pieces to remove the 1/2" seam allowance so that I can cut them from buckram, fuse them to the fabric, and cut my own seam allowance.
2. Wire the brim.
3. Use these instructions to make the brim.
4. Find a way to enlarge the hat? It's made for a 22.5" head and mine measures 23". A mock-up is needed.

I also need to find fabric for this. I've got some black denim that could work, as I do want it to be sturdy and black, and I could waterproof that pretty easily. The option I like the most is actually wool with a silk liner.

I need to use what I have first, though. Let's see how this goes.
