Newcomer’s Garb Workshop and Sash Making for the Baronial War Unit
Greetings all,
On Wednesday 8/2/2012 at Baronial Fighter and Arts and Sciences night
at the ANU at 7 pm to 9pm we will be running a newcomers garb
workshop. We will also be sewing up Baronial Sashes for our War Unit.
The workshop will be useful for those who want new/more/their own garb
for events such as Border War, Feast of Venus and Festival. We will be
making Cotehardies, Sideless surcoats and Tunics.
Any volunteers who can help pattern up newcomers, sew up sashes, print
the sashes, help with sewing instructions etc would be very welcome.
Sewing machines, pins, scissors and other sewing paraphernalia being
lent would be fantastic also. Please send me an email to let me know.
For the newcomers, and anyone else who wants to, we will be going to
Spotlight at Queanbeyan on Thursday 2/2/2012. Car pooling will be
available and we will discuss useful materials to choose etc etc.
Again an email or phone message is necessary so we know
whether to actually go or not.
In regards to fabric our lovely hospitaller Helouys would like it
pointed out that whilst too late for Border war, but in time for
Festival she can make an order of lovely fabrics at decent prices
online.
In the meantime for this workshop you will need
About 4-5 metres of material ( drill, linen are good starters)
Sewing pins
Scissors
If making the cotehardie, patterning material (an old sheet, calico)
will be needed.
Again, during the Spotlight trip we can guide you through all this 
We will be doing more garb workshops in the lead up to Festival as
well, including a work shop on accessories ( belts, shoes, pouches,
hats)
I have already received donations of red material for the sashes and
am very grateful at the generosity of this Barony. Any more donations
will also be welcome. The sashes will be a simple band of material
with a griffin gocco printed on. At this point we are making 20.
If there are any questions please send them through,
Aonghus and Ginevra
