I thought you might like to see the nun habit I just finished. I made two complete outfits but the robe is not worth showing, it is a shapeless tunic and in black which is impossible to photograph well. I will be delivering the costumes tomorrow in time for their costume parade, part of the festivities before the show starts. Now I can go back to my My Image dress; it will be in the forties again tomorrow, I think I will still have a chance to wear this dress...

Description Garnered from my many many years hanging around the borders of medieval re-enacters. This is for *ladyyatexel, for the wizard's robe for her Hades doll. I've made full-length hooded robes for myself, using this same basic pattern, so I believe it should scale down okay. Happy sewing!

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the central point of our day and of our whole spiritual life by which all else is transformed from within and we are “built together into a holy temple in the Lord.” Our whole life pattern takes its form from the sacred liturgy.
