helwenMy apprentice Robert Fairfax, who's recent adventure into sewing some of you may have been following over at the Reconstructing History blog, has a blog for putting up some of his SCA work. You can find it here: Fairfax Files.
So far, a few scrolls (the calligraphy part) and the documentation for some pins he made. I recommend reading the paper -- it isn't long but is well written, and an excellent exemplar for folks who are learning to do write-ups for their A&S submissions.
btw, he makes the pins for sale as well, both the everyday pins and the fancy coral-headed ones, and you can see pictures of them Medieval Pins
If you're into wearing veils at events, I recommend them. I personal have a horrible time with having anything over my ears (my lip-reading is only so good...), but I am thinking about getting a bronze needle, and maybe some linen sewing thread. I have some thread, but another spool isn't a bad thing. The Bocken 60/2 comes in several colors, too. It isn't inexpensive, but Bob reports that it doesn't break like some of the less expensive ones do, which sounds to be a more durable product.
