kareinaWe are just driving home from the annual summer night folk music concert held in the big church in Skellefteå. Once again ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lord_kjar joined the others in Luleå Nyckelharpa to perform there, so we drove down for it after he got home from work this evening. This year they were the first band to perform.
We made it down just after 19:00, so we spent the better part of an hour at the motor home of B. & S. While they practiced and I worked on my jester costume. I love sewing to their music!
Sadly, just as it was time to walk over to the concert, as I started to attach the underarm gore to sleeve #2, I realised that I had done the first one wrong and will have to redo it. I didn't feel for taking that seam back out yet, so instead I started sewing the lacing holes onto the under tunic during the concert, which was long enough to complete the first six holes.
The concert always ends with all the bands gathering together at the stage end of the church and playing together a verse, then marching to their music down the isle and out the door, where they keep playing for a number of more tunes as the audience comes out to listen.
One of the nice things about summer is that I could stand outside sewing as I listened to their music, at 22:30, on a cloudy evening, and had zero problems seeing the stitches.
