2 months is an impressively short amount of time for such a project!

If so, what do you all do to fund your need to build historical clothing?

Over here, May is a month with 2 Bank-Holiday Mondays, and May 9th is our Isles' 1945 Liberation Day Anniversary Celebration - so work-wise and wages-wise - it's a short month. My House is sorting equipment and pre-packing - to travel to the UK Mainland to take part in West Dragonshire's Winchester Pilgrimage [weekend June 1st to 3rd] see some pictures at http://www.westdragonshire.org/pilgrimage - based upon the medieval Almshouses Hospital of St Cross, [Winchester, Hampshire, UK,] - which latter is a group of almost unaltered medieval buildings continuously-occupied by the Brothers Of St. Cross since it's Foundation. The location has almost no anachronisms in view once through the gateway; and the Brothers all wear monkish robes, too, as daily-garb, - which helps the effort of belief. Next Saturday morning's 3 hrs pilgrimage walk will be along the path through the watermeadows beside the River Itchen, finishing-up at Winchester Cathedral; and then walking back to St Cross. Satruday night's Feast will be held in the Hospital's medieval Hundred Mens' Hall. IMHO, this will be one of the two events in Drachenwald this year [the other wil be Ffair Raglan III ] at which Society members will be able most easily - and with minimum effort of imagination - to experience those rare precious moments when one may look round and think one's self back in the medieval Period.
