Everybody, welcome Shawn Hunt aboard Pyracy Pub!

Excellent, Welcome back!

These look great to me. Talking with William (though not to speak for him), we would rather folks wore something earlier rather than later then period.

Welcome back aboard 1stMate Matt!

Wishing Diosa De Cancion the Happiest of Beerthdays!

That is beautiful fabric!

Okay, so whatcha thinking of make'n?

I've made the sleeveless pattern a few times now and can attest to it being pretty quick/easy, especially if you have any previous sewing experience. Initially I didn't have a clue or experience sewing and making (welt) pockets hung me up big time, until I saw a YouTube and I could wrap my head around the process. But even then actual pockets aren't necessary, you can have nothing or just ornamental pocket flaps.

Happy Beerthday to our own Captain Oatmeal, Michael Bagley!

If only Fort Taylor was still a thing. I remember wandering with folks into bars and the bartenders offering to fill my mug - I had one that was 24oz. Congratulations, great find!

Noice to know - thanks!

Reconstructing History RH704 is a versatile pattern. I believe it has instructions for short sailor waistcoat, long waistcoat and sleeved waistcoats. I think she's in Europe now, but when I ordered last time it arrived quickly. There are some resellers too, might even find on eBay. https://reconstructinghistory.com/products/rh704-1700s-1730s-waistcoats I can recommend this pattern, I've made both the sleeved and sleeveless versions. Sleeves on anything (shirts, waistcoats, jackets, coats) totally messes with me, but I've done it.

FIGHT! I'm so jealous of you guys making cool stuff. I usually take over the dinning room table in mid Winter until sometime in Spring. But we've had an almost constant stream of (family) visitors since November and it hasn't stopped.

Is it done yet? I want to see this finished! Now are you making this from a pattern or are winging it?

These are good looking shoes and at a great price! Has anyone got a pair of these? I'd be interested in a review.

You do make beautiful shirt!

Wow, that's a great find! Even if it doesn't hold liquid, it's still a cool prop. I've actually got an old 5 gal (oak) cask from John & Grace, but I'm not sure where it has gone since I moved (ten years ago). At the time the boards had already started drying out, shrinking and collapsing in on it's self. Since barrels are a sort of pressure fit, I'd need to soak the boards a bit to reconstitute everything, maybe buy a bag/membrane insert if I actually wanted it to hold liquid.

I was wondering that too. From what I see in the picture, there doesn't seem to be a lot let to preserve.

Since October, I haven't found a whole lot of interest myself. Though I did find these 2 large foam ice chests, 18"x19"x26". The inside voids aren't very big, I think they're for shipping meat or medication maybe. Anyway they were a couple bulks each, I'm thinking I could wrap them in some old canvas and stamp some bale marks on 'em.

Just found a couple of light/medium blue curtain panels, 100% cotton with a few stains. Enough to make a waistcoat or maybe a jacket.

The 20 years or so that I lived in the Bay Area, I fantasized about (not paying rent and) parking/living on a boat on the bay. I'm sure that COVID has a lot to do with it. But I suspect it's also a reflection on our current situation in the US, the lack of affordable housing, the swell of displaced working people, the unhoused and homeless.

Has anyone else watched Boundless on Amazon Prime? It's about Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano's 1519 voyage to circumnavigate of the globe. Way too early for the Golden Age, but nautical history all the same.

Welcome Matteo LoRosso to the Pyracy Pub!

I think these stockings look amazing - love the patches sew on them.

Jno Connolly posted this to Facebook 2023 DEC This pair of stockings was found on the wreck of the Archangel Raphael, which sank in 1724. There were some clothing items that are specifically Germanic that were found, which makes sense since it was a German trade ship that sank on the Baltic Sea. I’ve never seen the different colored yarn pattern like this pair has by the knee, but the overall construction represents what knit stockings would have looked like.
