[Namron] Couple costuming questions

[Jennifer Jackson]

Jim,

Kelly, at Buz's Sub Shop, has a sewing machine there that he says members of the barony are welcome to borrow.  Perhaps that will be of help.

  I found a website that has instructions and plans for pretty authentic, I think, Viking clothing.  This is the period that I have been researching so I would like to make some clothes using this site.  http://www.vikingsonline.org.uk

  My questions are:

  Is there a decent place to get leather here in OKC?

  I have a VERY limited amount of experience in sewing, ok basically none, but I dont have a sewing maching either.  Might be able to use my sisters but not sure.  Would it be improbable to do by hand?  Would it just take a longer amount of time for me to do it this way? 

  Whats the best place in Norman to find material?  I have looked at Wal Mart but everything looks pretty modern to me..  I have been to Hancocks and they seem to have a decent selection.  Any other places I should try? 

  Also, the decorative trim that you see around the necks, wrists and such  Would I find the trim at the same places I get the material?

  I am in no hurry.  But I have been dying (Love being dramatic)  to ask questions regarding sewing since I started meeting you guys and just now amd I comfortable to do so.  Basically, I am just looking for a project so that I can begin learning something... and at the same time make myself some pretty decent.. semi authentic clothing.  :) 

  Thanks in advance.. Hope I didnt ramble too much.

  Jim
