[Namron] Badge and Sash update 8/09/41

Wed Aug 9 13:03:31 PDT 2006

My house is open for sewing. Garage is cleaned out so guys can retreat to it for armor/guy things plus have a decent sized backyard for the kiddos. FYI I do have a "general sized" Girl Scout sash to use a pattern. Agnes

Scout ones are all sewn up and it is assumed that the person wearing is of a range of sizes.  Except for the very small and the very large, they seem to work.  AND, children tend to grow anyway, so I'm wondering if having a general sized sash wouldn't be the smarter and easier thing to do anyway.  

Pooky asked for teacher sashes.  Along with the trigger cloth, I got some poly-cotton fabric -- not as sturdy as trigger cloth, but if the adults handled the fabric more gently, it should hold up just fine.  For adults, I definitely think that sizing makes a difference.  Ethne and Pooky are way different in sizes and I hardly think the same size sash would fit.  More advice on adult sizing??

Lucrezia, I'm game for coming to your house for the sash brigade.  It depends on if others are willing to travel that far.  I think we can whip these out in an afternoon or so.  Perhaps the male-folk who don't sew would be willing to grill some goodies  to feed the elves who do the work?

Just some of my ideas.

The child CAN wear an enjoy their sash upon receiving it, if they are given with safety pins to fasten them.

  I believe that Ulf has a scanner, as well as several others around, I am sure.

ClapClapClap happy happy,

Badges: I am getting the design with tornados around the edge authorized by the Kingdom MoC as to see whether that design is acceptable. It looks great but that is just MY opinion. Her concern is whether there would be enough heraldic separation between what I am hoping we can use and the other 49 places in Ansteorra that can have MoC badges.
Point being ~ What design We can use is on hold until I can get approval. Aha! If I can find a scanner and attach a color copy to an email, that might be the fastest way to get E. Adria to authorize or deny the design. Otherwise it'll be a snail mail method. Anyone have scanning technology?

Sashes: Lady Isobel did you find a pattern for sashes? 
I noticed from MY water bearer's sash that the end furthest from the shoulder=, when cut at about a 45 degree angle, makes the sash lay/lie flatter against the torso. That's what I think the big trick to sashes is. I'm reaffirming MY vote for the 3/4" trim because a child has about 3-4 inches of shoulder available (best guess). The width of trim on both sides of the black cloth 3/4" wide = 1.5" of trim minus (Pooky's ignorant guess) 1/4" to sew it to the black fabric then equals 1.25"s plus the width of the cloth.

That sounds closer to 3-4 inches wide then starting with 1.5 inches of trim on both sides of the black trigger plus width of black trigger. 

I am going to measure My niece and nephews tonight to see how different ages will effect the overall length of the sash. That'll give ME a better estimate but we might consider leaving the torso end open so the parents can form fit it to their child but if we do that  then the child can't have the sash work and function immediately upon receiving it, when they are most excited about it, so that stinks because at that instant is when they most want to be styling their new sash and being excited about it. So maybe having different length sashes available, closed on both ends, whose length is pre based on different size kids might be best. I'm still wrestling with this. Input and feedback is always appreciated.

Scrolls: Momma MoOoOoo taught ME how. I've got the scrolls covered.

Teachers: Always need more teachers and reminders of willingness, availability times, and subject matter. If I get a commitment as to which subject you are most wanting to teach then We can focus on the production of that certain type of badge. 
It's all circlulus but never Mobius. ;^ )

synopsis: Design for badges needs to be approved / plans for sash sizes need further consideration and input / Good on scrolls / teachers yes please.

My magic communication devices number is 405.206.1227 feel free to startle ME with vibration anytime. Yes 24/7 anytime.

We're getting closer togettin' R' done,
Thank you everybody for your time, effort, and help!
