[Loch-Ruadh] Garb workshop

[Jane Sitton]

Does anyone have any Irish clothing references?  We're not ALL going be
Norse, are we???

Specifically, I'm still looking for info on what an Irish nun of the period
would wear.  I've found an interesting reference, which I still have to
investigate -- the Sister of Mary of Magdalene -- reformed prostitutes(!)
who wore all white.  I just don't know their time period yet.  I wanted to
be a Carmelite nun (so I could make some good jokes with that), but they
were formed later in period, so back to the drawing board....

In the on-going efforts of having as many people in appropriate garb for the
Viking Culture Camp There will be a Garb Workshop at Lady Elizabeth's on
Saturday the 14th, starting after coffee, :-) which has meant in the past,
showing up at 9:30 A.M. . Bring your fabric if you have any, questions, or a
desire to learn if you don't. Lady Asa will be bringing a bunch of her
Viking reference books, and usually those who attend have a good time. We
also take up a collection for lunch.

Here is a map link for those who are interested in attending.
