Garb wars is when you take teams of 2-4 people, mostly sewers, throw them
into a room full of fabric remnants, and sewing machines and give them 24
hrs to create medieval/ renaissance clothing. Usually the team will
construct a complete outfit- chemise, underdress, overdress, hat/veil, or
shirt, doublet, trunkhose, or a snazzy anglo-saxon tunic, trews, cloak, or a
bunch of stuff for the littler people among us, and the best(most complete,
most accurate, most something) wins a basket of goodies for the team, and
the objects made generally wind up added to the hospitaler's loaner garb.
Last one around here was at the last Elfsea collegium I seem to recall.

What is a Garb Wars?

But extra fabric is always a good thing.  :-)
