Yesterday was the first time in weeks I wore street clothes, and it was literally a pain in the ass. Or at least the hip. Especially every time I had to use the toilet.

Today I am wearing (if you can call it that) what is essentially a hospital blanket with a neck hole. Which, I couldn't help but notice, would have taken me about 10 minutes, in my heyday with my old black Singer, to turn into a perfectly reasonable T-tunic. And that T-tunics would be by far the most sensible garment for me to wear around the house for the next several weeks.

I don't have any more of these hospital blankets with the pre-cut neck hole. But I do have about a half-dozen hospital blankets. What I don't have is a sewing machine. Nor (with anything save old-school Singers) sewing-machine skills.

So, to cut to the chase, does anyone have time and inclination to sew a half-dozen basic T-tunics? Preferably in the next few days?

I don't understand what you mean by that, but if you have an example you can show me, that will soon be solved.

I could probably help, but possibly not until Friday or the weekend.

A T-tunic is the ridiculously simple SCA garb that is basically two pieces of knee length fabric cut to a T shape (torso plus sleeves), sewn together at the shoulders, tops and bottoms of sleeves, side seams, or maybe even folded over and then only the neck hole and the bottom of the arms and sides are sewn together. Think dead simple construction, no real patern needed. You could sew this in your sleep, [livejournal.com profile] lindalee. It's kind of like a loose baggy knee length dress really.
