The new princess of the East was dismayed that there did not appear to be a fighting tabard for the Princess. There were once for the King and Queen,
and the Prince, but not for the Princess. Catrin O rhyd’ For was helping to organize the initial portion of the reign, adn when in doubt she turned to me.
The tabard is poly-satin, on top of a trigger base. Not exactly period materials, but it will hopefully stand up to the stresses of fighting.
There are four layers stacked one on top of another to create the roses, not counting the four layers of fusible interfacing, and the spray on glue to make it all stay in place while I satin stitched the edges.
There is a bit of decorative stiching thrown in for good measure.
Not my most period of projects, but it should make Svava look good on the field.

To complement the above tabard, I also started on a helmet torse. After trying several designs, I decided to go with a braided design.
It obviously does not fit my helmet well, but it should fit Svava’s much better.

Simple lounging around the camp garb. All linen construction and I still needed to unbutton it in the Pennsic heat.

Ozzie, the flower of Ansteorran chivalry in his new Elizabethan.
The white stripes on either side of the codpiece are unintentional. They are actually the knight’s belt that he is using to hold up the trunkhose.
That is one of my pink and white tents in the background. It clashes badly, which is why I think Oz liked it as a backdrop.
All Linen, this outfit stands up to the Pennsic heat as well as anything, while not being too warm.

Baron Aquel in his new Elizabethan, So hot he needs a fire extinguisher...
Unfortunately several hours after this photo was taken, Aquel was rushed to the hospital, for several stiches near his eye, in what has come to be
known as “the lone trombonist incident.”
The EMT crew had a bit of trouble strapping him to the gurney as they couldn’t figure if they should strap him above, below or over the codpiece.
While there are rumors that there was a second trombonist out on the grassy knoll, there is no evidence of such an individual.

The Serving Staff for la Fete du Lac. For the fete, Jehan du Lac requested that a set of servant’s livery be made up for a late 16th century
feast. Not having as many male servants as they had in period, we had a number of cross-dressers.
I have recently learned that the staff have been nicknamed “The Baron’s Men in Black.”

This is an old velvet outfit of mine, that was based on the Svante Sture outfit the Janet Arnold documented in Patterns of Fashion. The
pluderhosen were a bit longer than on the original, and I made a few errors on the codpiece, but all visible external seams are hand sewn and the jacket and sleeves fit better, with better mobility, than
anything I ever bought in a store.
