When my son was born it soon became apparent that nursing in SCA garb was not a simple matter. Since my garb didn't open in the front it meant taking my entire dress off to nurse. Since the... |

My mother-in-law (Anna) has a problem. At every event she goes to, she ends up freezing... at least at night. She has a cloak, but it's too heavy and one of the last times she wore it, she actually popped her shoulder trying to put it on! It also does not have a defined neck - the hood and cape are one uncut piece of fabric. So, she has a hard time keeping the cloak on her shoulders. She's asked me to help her make a lighter weight, but still warm cape. This is the patter she... |

After getting the pattern pieces cut and folded in a nice neat pile that I could work on when I had the time turned it to a "nope gotta do it now" type thing...Neice has been super stoked that she is getting her dress made... |

Ok back around March I believe our Shire was hosting an event called Haire Affaire....It was the first event that I was co-autocrating and I wanted to make something new so I started to sew a Viking apron dress....
We had just moved into my sisters house due to financial problems, and so my niece was ever present shyly and sometimes noisily watching...She is six after all and hardly can sit still or be silent...
So while I was working on my garb she smies with full dimples and says, "Oh I... |

My first A&S Entry
Recently at Fall Coronation in Northshield, I finally entered into an A&S competition for the first time. It was a last minute decision, so I knew the finished product wasn’t going to be as good as it could be, but it was a chance to just take the plunge and do something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
On Wednesday, I spent several hours at the computer searching for a project that I could sew that would also fit the theme of the event (Viking Age York). I... |

I see so many people joining the boards, that like me are very new to sewing....
Even though there are so many nice and informative seasoned sewers, I know at least for me the help and advice they give can sometimes still confuse me more then the simple instructions I know I am over analyzing...So here we go through the different styles of garb starting with the easy projects and moving on to the more difficult as I get there....
Having already started on garb, I will start anew (since I... |

Well! I guess I am to join the ranks of bloggers! I've never done this, so I'm going to need help from you guys. I'll post my random sewing adventures, but I need to hear from you as to what you want to hear about. Do you want to know what it was like to enter into my first A&S competition? Do you want to hear about the trouble I'm having finding instructions for how to do puff and slash? What do YOU want to know about?
As an introduction of sorts... I do sew a lot of garb. I... |
