13 in 13 -- #1

My goal for this year is to finish 13 projects that were already started. Any project that I start this year that I finish does not count toward this goal. My hope is that I focus on finishing things instead of starting new projects (although I'm sure that will happen as well).

FIRST OF THIRTEEN!
My first project I finished is......(drumroll) 10 tabards for Harfn Sjot Black. This is a mercenary group to which Kaitlyn belongs. Her Jarl (leader of the group) wanted to create an elite group within the group. Everyone who is considered a member is eligible to wear a red favor and/or tabard with a black raven on it. The Black group wears a black favor/tabard with a red raven on it.

I told the Jarl (with whom I am friends) that I would make 10 favors and tabards as my gift to the group. The favors were finished in time for Yule but the tabards I've struggled with. First, it took forever to get enough fabric for the tabards. Each one needed 2 2/3 yards, a total of almost 27 yards. In addition, they required 23 packages of red bias tape. As you can imagine, it took a bit of time just getting the supplies. Then each tabard took about three hours to sew start to finish.

Anyway! Here is a pile of folded tabards...proof of project number one done! I'll be handing them to the Jarl on Wednesday.
