Title: Looking for a Quiver at GA Faire
Post by: Sabrina Black on May 13, 2009, 09:42:39 AM
Does anyone know of a specific shop where I can get a simple leather quiver at GA Ren Faire?  It's for a parasol.  Got this idea from a friend at LA faire last year and it worked perfectly.  Thanks in advance!

I have seen people use a wrist bracer to hold one's parasol in that ties to a belt.

Plus!!  There is a new BUTTERICK pattern out for pouches and bracers. That pattern might work to make one.

Hmmm, I had thought about trying a bracer, but the ones I've seen look kinda big to hold it.  I'll check it out at GA though.  Wish I had time to make something like that, but I still have to make an overlay skirt and I've only got a week and a half lol.  Serves me right for procrastinating I suppose, lol.  Although, if anyone has any recommendations for quivers, I still want them.  Thanks!

I think I'm just gonna make something similar to a bracer but a little smaller to make sure my parasol doesn't come sliding out.  Thank you for the tip Lady Kathleen  :) :)

I put a parasol holder togehter for mieljolie and she was kind enough to post some pictures of it.

If you have a little time before you need it I could put one together for you.  I have also made a version 2.0 that hangs on the belt with a strap.

Oh wow, I really appreciate the offer!  Unfortunately I need it for Memorial Day weekend.  I didn't know for sure if I was going to need one.  Was hoping to borrow a friend's, but it turns out he may end up using it at a different faire.  I'll just throw something together and if it works, great and if not I'll be on the lookout for something else.  Actually if it doesn't work, I may take you up on your offer to use at future faires.  Thanks!
