Greetings!
I would like to invite you all to the First Time Handsewing Challenge! This
challenge is specifically set towards those that have not had the
opportunity to completely sew a garment/object by hand. Sewers that are
experienced in hand stitching items will not be excluded, but this is meant
as a chance for those with no experience in this realm to get a start.The
Challenge I propose is that all persons joining the challenge pick a garment
or object of textile nature, no matter how small or large, i.e. a pilgrim
bag, a Coif or any type of hat, socks, flag, gloves etc., and have at least
one form of documentation for its existence during the SCA time period.
Acceptable forms of documentation for this project will be
paintings/woodcuts/drawings with the desired object in it or a picture of
the desired object.The challenge starts first of June and will end one year
later. People can join the challenge at any time during this year, and a
blog has been created for people to post their progress and comments, and
ask for advice: http://firsttimehandsewingchallenge.blogspot.com/.  More
experienced sewers are invited to follow the blog and offer advice and
feedback. This challenge is based in the Kingdom of Drachenwald, but we
would like to open it up to all kingdoms! All interested in joining this
challenge please contact me at  gottfriedkilianus at yahoo.com  or Mistress
Anya at jeniferknox at yahoo.com
See you there!
