Do you have some kind of suggestions/guidelines for modifying your patterns to fit sizes outside the range you include in the package? That's the one problem I always run into whenever considering buying patterns - the fact that patterns for my size are rarely available from anyone, and generally are NEVER available in historical garb.

Are there any pirates in the Vermont/New Hampshire area? I happen to live on a hill overlooking the Connecticut River in western New Hampshire, and as much as I'd love to go into Portsmouth to meet with folks, it's enough of a trip that I'd have to make it as a rare treat. But, if there's anyone on this side of the state, I'd love to join up with them.

(Note: This is the same problem I had with the SCA - all the SCAfolk in New Hampshire seem to be on the coast...)

My favorite pirate tale is Henry Martyn, by L. Neil Smith. It's the tale of a man driven to piracy to avenge the destruction of his family by corrupt nobles.
