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.

Subject: [Namron] Couple costuming questions
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
