[Sca-cooks] Things to BUY at Pennsic

[Elaine Koogler]

Yes, you're right. But there is the problem that there were a lot of 
folk who, back when you and I were young in the SCA (26 years an 
counting...), got very frustrated and discouraged because they didn't 
have a clue as to how to sew. These merchants who sell garb are a major 
boon to those folk. And to be honest, to me as well. When I'm working, I 
often commute over an hour each way to work...which means that, on work 
days, I spend about 10 hours or more at work and in transit. That 
doens't leave much time for anything in the evening other than eating 
dinner and collapsing. I still try to sew when I can...but it's nice to 
be able to concentrate on something special...and purchase shifts and 
other items from a merchant!

Not to be poopy, and I know I have not been playing this game as long as many of you (19 yrs. this Sept.), but I remember a time when most people made most, if not all, of their own garb.  Perhaps we have all gotten a bit spoiled and should be encouraging each other to get back to those sewing machines....  There is something to be said for setting a good example for the really new folks.
