My Finnish coil-embellished apron
The other day I shared some photos someone else took at Kingdom A&S at Coronation in February, today I’ll share some photos with you that I took from the event.

The March 2016 Historical Sew Monthly challenge is:
Protection – make something to protect yourself (from weather or injury) or your clothes (from soiling etc.)
I missed the February challenge because I really just didn’t have the time, not to mention I only had a rough idea of what I wanted to make. Unfortunately I’m not feeling especially historically-inspired this month either. Most of what I’m sewing right now is mundane clothing which I’ve been neglecting for several months while working towards SCA costumes and projects.
As mentioned in my previous post, like at Twelfth Night, I wasn’t able to take much in the way of photos at Avacal’s Coronation and the Kingdom Arts & Science Championships because I was swamped trying to do other things. Luckily, one of the local photographers (Beothuk)took MANY amazing photos, and published them publicly online.

I opted to wear my Finnish Iron Age costume for my presentation (using my early attempts at the coil-embellished apron and necklace while the updated, more accurate versions were on display for the judges to touch and feel). For Court in the evening though, I swapped out and wore the updated versions. Beothuk got a few photos (I didn’t get any!)

Court was pretty much hilarious all the way through – I don’t think that there was a single time I wasn’t laughing.

Working behind my table on the blue Finnish hat on the table. Super-focused on coils while my trichinopoly is in the foreground.

I’m super-excited to share some really happy news – the recent posts I shared were all leading up to a really big announcement:
