Sucked in two more! Bwahahaha

My son's girlfriend attended Silver Leaf with us a few weeks ago (in jeans and t-shirt) and apparently decided that going in garb looked like more fun! I got a phone call yesterday asking for help figuring out what size patterns to buy. I told her don't bother buying patterns because no purchased patterns are neccessary for chemises/smocks and simple skirts! Then my older daughter (who visited MIRF twice last year and Silver Leaf this year in mundanes and always teases me about my garb) decided that she wants to make garb too! So we went shopping yesterday for fabrics and I showed them some websites with simple instructions and next week after I get home from Bristol we will be sewing! (I advised them both to buy bodices at faire to avoid frustration since neither of them have ever sewn anything before and I'm not up for attempting to make bodices for them.)

If I wasn't booked up, sealion, I would help out.

I`am gald they have decided to wear garb and not mundane . You have started something with them., but I hope you find all the help you need to put them together a gab for the fair.

Thanks ladies! I'm not really looking for help, more just gloating that they have decided to give sewing a try. LOL

Nothing wrong with a  little gloat now and then.

One thing I have noticed is that going to faire in mundanes is nowhere as much fun as when in garb, any kind of garb. Glad to hear that you have made over some converts.

BOY I second that one.

Two years ago I went with a girlfriend, a nother co-worker and that co-workers son and friend. It was the 2nd least amount of fun I have ever had. The first being the time my ex and I went mundane, but it was a freezing cold weekend that visit so it didn't matter much. Last year Toki went mundane. While it was fun, I know it would have been better had he had garb to wear and came in garb. i trid as I had a mens peasant shirt he could have worn, but NOOOOO he didn't want to. he wanted his own garb. Now he's addicticed and hooked.

I have a lady I work with (fixing her PC) That I may have hooked as she really loves Tudor and Elizabethian times, reads all she can on them and wants to go garbed. I hope she does.
