Eura Underdress – The Family Look pt. 2
The continuation of the Eura underdress journey. (See here for previous entry.) After much deliberation and pulling the dress off and on again I decided to take it all apart. I was right when I had assumed that the dress would wind up far to large for myself. As a reminder I used the pattern … Continue reading
Eura Underdress – The Family Look pt. 1
So for a long time I’ve been hearing about the Eura dress. In the SCA it’s worn often times with a Viking apron dress besides the as a medieval Finnish outfit. The other great perk about this particular pattern is that there are no underarm gussets for kids to rip through. I’ll talk about that … Continue reading
Kids Classes in the SCA & A Game Pouch
Children. For most SCA groups there is an ongoing conversation on how to involve the children more and more into the Society. For a long time we have had youth combat which starts at age six. While that is all well and good the rest of the children (ans there are quite a few in … Continue reading

***PLEASE BE PATIENT THIS POST IS IMAGE-HEAVY*** I am very excited to be going to Pennsic this year. Sadly, after having my second baby my body doesn’t resemble what it used to. Needless to say that I now need make more garb and alter the few things that I can, in order to have … Continue reading

Blue Linen Dress Re-Do Swatches
So as promised I finally took a picture of the materials that will be going along with the light blue dress re-do. I haven’t been able to do much work on recently but I’m hoping that will change next week. This week I’ve been in a super cleaning mode. “Nesting” is what my husband calls … Continue reading
Blue Linen Dress Re-Do
So I’ve begun taking apart the light blue linen t-tunic type dress that was given me and prepping it for a re-do. I didn’t take picture of it while assembled but it was the basic pattern that many people use when they start out, located here. The front of the dress. I have so far … Continue reading
Ack! Current Projects
So I haven’t posted to this, my SCA clothing journal, in two years. I do have a somewhat valid excuse. In two years we’ve moved, my business is getting re-started, I’m working part time, and we have just finished the basement (sewing room). It’s been a crazy couple of years. Beyond that I am pregnant … Continue reading
