.....that joke might not actually work. Whoops. A while back I stumbled across a list of the classes to be offered at Known World Costume and Fiber Arts Symposium (hereafter known as KWCAFAS because that is a name of unnecessary length) and I was filled with much longing. Problem is that KWCAFAS was near Atlanta, [...]

Some small progress

I felt like I had a few weeks there were I was so productive and now everything has slowed to a crawl. So here I am to show you what I've been doing and remind myself that I have gotten things done! 1. Alyce's camicia was finished on time (an addition to what is apparently [...]

Researching the Obscure

June 2, 2019June 2, 2019by notanothercostumingblog1 Comment on Researching the Obscure

Yesterday was West Kingdom Collegium, and for some reason I decided to teach a class. Actually, I know the reason, and that was that I like teaching! I asked William what he thought I should teach-- my History of Lace class seemed like a bad idea, since there isn't much interest in late 16th C [...]

Re-enacting on a budget

May 30, 2019May 30, 2019by notanothercostumingblogLeave a Comment on Re-enacting on a budget

If you've even dipped your toes in, you have likely realized that reenactment can easily eat all of your money. Especially if you want all the goodies! The entire time I've been in the SCA I've been either not working or working retail part-time, so I can't drop a fortune on my kit. In part [...]

So You Want To Learn How To Make A “Cotehardie”

May 29, 2019by notanothercostumingblog1 Comment on So You Want To Learn How To Make A “Cotehardie”

Honestly I'm writing this because a friend of mine was asking people for help on the Book of Faces about how men's 14th C "cotehardies"* are constructed.  I was just going to send these to him, but it occurred to me that other people might want this information too..... so I am compiling it on [...]

I realized I never shared this with you guys, so here is the documentation for my 14th C sewing thread!  So here you go, this is the actual coherent version of the rambling on this post. thread documentation The 'blurb' for this competition recommended 1-3 pages of documentation, so I tried to keep it at [...]

New Sewer’s Garb

New Sewer’s Garb

There's been a lot of discussion recently on the West Kingdom facebook group about garb for newcomers and how to get them the information they need. I feel like I really can't help very much with buying garb-- other than my new hood, I've never bought any garb in my life (If you want very [...]

Adventures in Catalán

Hello yes hi I vanished again!  I keep doing that!  I think the main problem is that I am just chugging along on a lot of things right now (no, actually, a LOT of things) and I never feel like I have anything in particular to write about.  Some of that will probably be detailed [...]

Clothing Rav

Clothing Rav

Many of you will remember my friend Darrin, of the stupidly-complicated-device and lack-of-garb. (His SCA name is Rav, which leads to the convenient mnemonic of us as Rav4 and Ex-hera. Ie the Toyota Rav 4 and the Nissan Extera. Blame Laurie, but it helps) This is the garb I made him approximately a year ago. [...]

14th Century Sewing Thread

And I'm off down another rabbit hole! At Mists Investiture in May they're having an A&S competition the theme of which is, essentially "Things Made At Home."  They specifically mention spun thread as an example, to which I went. Huh. That is a thing I can do! Documentation is required, which means I've been in [...]
