Greetings unto Antoine from Stefan li Rous,
Antoine said:
All of my garb is...how do you say?
Newbie. I'm dying for better clothes...even one good set appropriate
for my persona (see below), but neither I nor my lady are handy with a
sewing machine. I'm afraid I may have to learn, as my efforts to get in
touch with local seamstresses has turned up nil.

Try this file for a little on seamstresses. Some reviews of some that
do mailorder, but not a very large file:

reviews.

My persona is 1280 Norman. Know where I can get patterns or pictures?

I'm sure you are... I don't crave adornment, just proper, well-fitted
period style. Also, where do you get (or how do you fashion) your hose,
if they are indeed appropriate for your persona?

Try this file:
hose-msg (68K) 5/17/96 Hose and leggings.
All the files mentioned above are in the CLOTHING section of
my SCA Rialto Files which are available at:
http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/rialto/rialto.html
or from me by email.
You might also want to look at this file, which is in the CULTURES section:
Normans-msg (14K) 3/20/96 Norman culture, dress.
Hope this helps.
