[Nordskogen] Sewing nights

[Elizabeth Chase]

I actually do need some help with placing holes for lacing up my bliaut-looking-something-or-other........     plus suggestions for 
actually doing the stitching (buttonhole or what?)....  I'm making lucet cord to match the dress, and am to the point of hand 
hemming the dress.

Directions would be gratefully received.

For several years, I have hosted sewing nights in my home. I'm listed in the
newsletter and on the webpage.

I leave Thursday evenings open for SCA sewing, starting about 7 and going
until I throw you out. Other times can be arranged if needed. Just discuss
it with me.

My research books are available for review. I'll help with patterns the best
I can (I've tried several different eras and cultures and am willing to
learn about others). There is space for sewing machines if you wish to bring
your own (mine may be available for quick stitching, also). I have a
wonderful 48" x 96" cutting table so you don't need to crawl around on the
floor. Plus you will find chatter about sewing, needlework, beading, etc as
well as the SCA in general. You have my 20+ years of SCA life as a resource.
No pets, to smoking.

I have heard rumors that people think these nights are for me and my
apprentices only...this is whole-heartedly UNTRUE. EVERYONE is welcomed,
whatever your experience level is, whatever your project may be.

While I can't handle all 100 at the same time  ;-)   I certainly will do
what I can to assist in whatever way I can.
