Needed supplies--check with Siobhan which she has available for us: BIG piece of paper or pattern cloth for patterning Measuring tape Pen/Pencil for patterning Marking Pen/Pencil for marking channels Fabric--best stuff is a firm twill weave such as Blue Line Drill--heavy muslin or lightweight canvas is good--100% natural fiber advisable (such as cotton or linen)--1 to 1.5 yards depending on height Grommets (advisable but not 100% historically authentic)with setter Scissors Binding--can be made from the canvas scraps or from lightweight leather or... needs to be pretty strong stuff, but I doubt we'll have time to apply it. We will discuss boning options. I will bring a list of boning sources. If there are any slender ladies coming, Rigilene boning is usable, but otherwise, broomstraw or steel boning is a better choice. I doubt we'll have time to cut and insert the bones, but we might. Looking forward to seeing you there. >From: Spence Mabry >To: "'elfsea@ansteorra.org'" >Cc: "Robin F.
