Mr.Tignor

To the good Mr.Hand, if at all possible could you get a few more pictures of how the pocket is fitted into the slops, or a bit more detailed of an explanation(i want to make sure i dont muck it up lol). im starting a pair of slops this week and i dare say this idea appeals to me greatly. Once again well done, one day i hope to be at least half as good as you!

Damn, that is an awesome job! You look great! thank goodness he stopped carrying that uncovered axe on his back! Looks like you're still spending time in williamsburg, pretty good reggie! we gonna see you at the festival this year? Dutch- lol yeah quite dangerous those uncovered axes lol and yes indeed i shall be at Blackbeards, as a matter of fact i was at the yorktown pirate invasion this past saturday, i think i scores brownie points with the crew sense i helped break camp in the rain*crosses fingers - thanks so much for the kind words all , i dare say i wasnt sure if i had done it right lol -Lady Barbossa- thanks for the complaments! i guess spatterdashers are quite good to have......now as for your quilted pettycoat.. that is excellent work my good woman! quite the lovely garment! i dont know that i could ever be quite that dedicated - Mr. Wake- i actually will be at PiP this year, which is why im so glad this period camp thread has poped up again HUZZAH!

me at Military thru the Ages, this is my third attempt and i think im getting alot better at hand sewing(i wish you could see the others lol) any tips/comments would be GREATLY appreciated. (oh and i know the spatterdashers are not supposed to be cotton.......im just hiding my shoes lol)

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Curse my slow hands! if id espyed it sooner id have a heck of a deal on a tent......... i do wonder if anyone else is selling one?

Mr.Bagley i have looked at the site(and the problems from the other buyers) and i would indeed be interested in acquiring his tent. if you could please pass on my contact information of Imagineer276@aol.com it would be greatly appreciated. Fair winds...

vveerryy nice sir! i dare say i cannot wait to pick up mine at Blackbeards! *cough is that plast.. *cough ....i saw nothing.....

Getting the stuff needed to camp out at the next PiP...plus sewing enough outfits to wear at it...*le sigh

I agree with Dogge, a good stiff hat blank looks quite the nice, and does a great job at setting you apart from the cocked hatted crowd. Also, one option i took was to get a wide brimmed straw-hat. While (just like the honorable Capt. Sterlings) they are no good in wind, they are pc and not too popular at events(though i admitt they are more use if your not exactly trying to portray a working sailor).

Indeed more pictures good sir. Iv been after a cartouche box recently and yours looks quite to my liking! Do you have an estimate on how many paper cartridges it would fit lined?

Yeah... but ya gots ter start somewhere..... (besides...th' blood makes it more authentic..... ) I still say, learn how to sew, so you can make it yourself.... Hey... even if you mess up, you've learned something.... there is a learning curve to sewing.... but the more holes ye poke in yer fingers, sooner or later your learn...1. how to make stuff better.... 2. to stop poking holes in yer fingers (well attempt not to....It still happens....) I'd also like to point out that I'm from th' Make it outta cotton first camp.... so ye knows what yer doing when ye use/buy th' good stuff... Sure you have to do it twice.... but it almost always come out better with a bit of practice.... But you also have something to wear as you are making (or saving up the money for ) your good stuff.... If you have someone helping you, you can skip that step... but for most of us, it's a heckofalot cheaper making mistakes with cotton than with linen/hemp/wool, or your good fabric.... In my opinion thats VERY sound advice. Also surprisingly accurate to how it went for me too...........now that the sewing looks better(and happens alot faster) its alot cheaper to make things the yea olde fashioned way! But pleeasssseeee take Mr. Hands warning, try it all out of cheap fabric first! I have about $75 worth of linen waistcoat and breeches that are all but useless to me *tear

Though not strictly a pirate event, i was wondering if anyone else was planning to attend, or if anyone has been before? Being in the hampton roads area, it seems shameful to pass it up. Plus, by the looks of it, it might be quite the multi-period educational odyssey( and a bit of fun to boot)!
