[Steppes] Sewing Newbie

[Jann Mays]

Antoine,
Here is the link.  Many fighters bought their coifs from this place at the last Gulf Wars I went to.  They are well made and very reasonably priced.

Hang in there!  I'm sure others will jump to the call as soon as they read this.  There is often a sewing or clothier's guild...  sometimes an impromptu class before a large event like Steppes Warlord, and we have several male costumers and Laurels (who specialize in costume) in the Steppes who can help you.  Many fighters make their own coifs, but some order them as well.  If you need one quick, I can give you a link for the costume shop from Gulf Wars.

Well, before I smash my fairly expensive loaner sewing machine or ruin
any more fabric or pull out my three remaining hairs, I figure I
should ask for help.  I've been trying for several days to put
together what I thought was an idiot simple coif, but it continues to
tie me in knots.  Are there any resources available to newcomers to
the Steppes who want to learn to sew garb but aren't really clear on
which end of the needle is the dangerous bit?  Thanks in advance!

Antoine...
