I just wanted to post a brief introduction. My name is Sarah and live
in central Wisconsin. I first really got involved in history while
walking with friends around Heidelberg Castle in 1992 and picturing
people living there. I have been involved in living history since
about 1994, mainly US Civil War but dabbled in other periods and most
recently WWII. I keep coming back to Elizabethan and earlier,
however, and most recently while doing my genealogy research (most
interesting related to Henry VIII is an ancestor of mine is the
grandmother to Catherine Parr). I have participated off and on with
the SCA (more off than on) but am hoping to get involved again due to
the focus on research and practical application (if that makes
sense!). I am most interested in the social history of 16th Century
England - especially that which caused people to head across the pond
to the colonies.
Right now I'm going through my fabrics and determining what I have and
what I can do with it. I have some good sized pieces of wool flannel,
linen, and definitely cotton. The silks I have are more 1860s pattern/
plaid and would not be appropriate for 16th Century. I am looking
forward to getting started - and participating when I can. :)
Sarah
