Seppa to-do list before November 1st 2019

Mask training, or training myself to get used to the orc mask, will begin once I'm not suffering with lurgy. I'll also be doing housework, walking and running, and such in costume to make sure nothing is chafing or annoying. One doesn't want to discover the hard way that something critical to the character is itchy or going to easily break.

To help me along, I'll be attending player events set in PD's Empire world, getting used to longer and longer periods in the mask and making sure that I can still see, breathe, hear, etc in it.

Looking back to previous posts, I felt a condensed to-do list would be good for me.

• Warskirt:
• Paint the white left wing motif onto a brown fabric panel for the skirt.
• Make a new belt piece to attach the leather and fabric pieces onto.
• Layer, stitch, and abraid the fabric and leather pieces.
• Add decorations to the skirt via paint, embroidery, and appliqués.
• Figure out how and where to attach the metal plaques belt and the wooden bead tie-back so they don't tangle, or bruise my thighs.
• Find some animal bones to add to the skirt front.
• Wrap some found bird feathers onto fringe/dangles for the skirt.

This reminds me, I've selected an archetype: shaman; because I do unsolicited advice and might as well allow that lack of brain-to-mouth filter an outlet. They also seem to wear animal bones.

• Textiles:
• Make a coarse, thick canvas cotton or silk sleeved coat (Anvil-cut and elbow-length sleeves), different weights to allow for weather variations.
• Make a T-tunic shirt in lightweight fabric, above-knee-length and long-sleeves, for a base layer (or over the thermal layer).
• Make the boiled wool waistcoat as a middle layer.
• Use some of the aran-weight wool yarn in beige or cream to pin-loom weave 4" squares for a second waistcoat.
• Crochet and full some wool slippers for those indoor events that don't permit outdoor footwear.
• Möbius head-shawl from other scarves stitched together.
• Embellish and attach the circles remnant to the scapular.
• Abraid and stain the white trousers' knees, maybe patch with beige cloth.
• Shorten the satchel strap and embellish the strap and bag with blue and brown threads/floss. (began the embellishing)

• Leatherwork:
• Possibly a tunic in the deerskin.
• Possibly a leather capelet for the metal ring and the bones.
• Two belt pouches (a large and a small) of the beige, white and/or blue leathers.

• Jewellery:
• Primary metal dangles necklace - lengthen the shoelace so that it fits over the neck wraps. (done)
• Brass ring and its bell - figure out where to place it on the costume, perhaps near the neckline.
• Horses motif plaque - figure out where that can be.

Test going to the loo, running, sitting, squatting, to make sure I won't trip up or drag too much filth into the costume.
