The closest SCA is almost 2 hours away from me now. If I move to
Dallas, I think my sister will go with me. We both love costumes and
this period. She makes costumes/garb for the Pocahontas Festival in
Larado for several years. BEAUTIFUL beading. HEAVY costumes, too.
I'm trying to find boning or something to use for my sorset. The
ties I bought aren't long enough so back to the store they go. My
neighbor has a yard of MASSIVE bamboo. I may get some of that and
strip it into narrow pieces to use. I'll use it green and have it on
a dummy until it's dried inside. That way it should keep whatever
shape I put it into. It will take some work but no money since it's
free. I'm now working so I have no extra money (extra= any).
Sincerely, Rebecca Rautine
I'd be very leery of using bamboo. It splinters very easily and such
splinters pierce just about any fabric and can go into your flesh.
