questions</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>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. <A
href="http://www.vikingsonline.org.uk">http://www.vikingsonline.org.uk</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My questions are:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there a decent place to get leather here in OKC?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. :) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.. Hope I didnt ramble too much.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jim</DIV>
