Hi!  I stumbled here quite by accident, and I couldn't be more thrilled!  My name is Lori, but my Ren Faire name is Allie Sutherland.  I live in KY and regularly attend KYRF, OHRF, TNRF, CRF, NCRF, GARF, and have visited MIRF.  I'm active with the International Wenches Guild, and I am the Madame Emeritus of KY/TN Local 77.  I'd love to meet some more of you!  I am waiting for WLS; I am most interested in the VSG.  I plan to go to Georgetown Bariatrics in Georgetown, KY, and my first informational meeting is next Friday, June 4.  I'm so excited!  Anyway, it's wonderful to know there is a place here for us Rennies!  Please friend me if you wish -- I love to make new friends!  Take care!

Greetings from Lady Geneveive de Lironcourt (mka Jenn) from the Barony of Elfsea in the Stellar Kingdom of Ansteorra.

So glad to find an SCA-esque forum!

The past few months have been interesting for me as I've been traveling A LOT as entourage for TRM's Hfran and Elizabeta.  This coming weekend is my one weekend off before their final court at Coronation the first weekend of November.

It has been SOOOOOO hard to not go crazy making new garb.  I'm a 14th century Cote junkie and they are not really good for 'altering' past about 40#.  Before this year and begining my WLJ I didn't own anything else except cotes and Persian M.E. dance wear.  But I've made a few Vikings now and I'm sticking with them until my weight stablizes.

Good luck!

I tried on all my garb last night and nothing fit! Dang it!  I used to merchant at events and I had a little bit of stock left over and found two things that will work...for about a month. Bleh.

I specialized in Plus & Super Plus costuming when I retailed and drew my own patterns so I don't even have patterns that will work in my new smaller size (14-16! Woot!) so I'm basically starting from scratch.

Again.

Seems like we have seme avid sewers out there. Post us some pics of your recent works of art! Bonus points if you're wearin' em!

I got some awesome purple and black striped cotton tights last year from some on line place. I think they had knee high socks too. I found their store through EBay and I think I paid about $20 for three pairs.

I've had good luck finding socks that I like at Target.
