Capt Grey

There needs to be a "Not authentic at all" selection. Which, of course, would be me. Modern fabrics, machine sewn, FrayCheck on the edges of the trim, and fusible webbing to hold it on. Oh, the buttons ARE hand-sewn. But I'm having fun, so that's what's important to me.

Aye, Captain Gary. I miss our Bess. I ain't belivin' nothin' 'till Bess be back t'tell us what be true and what ain't. :)

Hmm, another reason for me to visit Australia (besides all the internet friends I have made there).

Rumba me lass, did you buy it? Pictures, matey! I wants t'see pictures of ye wearin' it!

Ahoy, Morgan. How about leaving it untrimmed if it's supposed to be utilitarian. I don't know what you can do to counter balance the back; maybe sew some small weights into the front or add those pockets like ye said.

Pictures, matey. We be wantin' pictures! Sounds like a great piece o'plunder.

Ahoy and welcome, lassie. Does ye have a web site that ye can steer us to?

This be the Plunder section, HarborMaster. We allows folks t'advertise their wares here because other members be lookin' fer swag. And Atala Syrcuse has participated in other threads in this topic. Rabble Rousing and Beyond Pyracy be t'place fer carousin' matey!

Aye maties, there be many child-friendly pirates on them media seas! Me favorite still be Captain Feathersword the Friendly Pirate from the kids's show "The Wiggles".

I just been catching up on this thread and wanted t'let me mates know how proud I be o'their efforts. I had a chance to arrange a Make-A-Wish project for a little boy who wanted to be Anakin Skywalker. I could not believe how people rose up to volunteer whatever they could. I even secured a studio with greenscreen and a professional director, producer, and crew. The producer is a friend of Mark Hamill's (Luke) and asked Mark to drop by for a while (which he did!). It was an AWESOME experience. I, too, am going to be editing the footage for a while. Isn't it amazing the wonderful things we can do when we work together? :)

I has a 15 year old Singer that me sister gave t'me about 7 years ago. It be fine fer me Jedi costumes and such (lots of straight seams!). It won't touch dense fabrics or leather and I has the same problem as Rumba with fancy threads breakin' or ballin' up. And a new machine be low on me priority list as well... So just call me a wussie!

Just a note, make sure the picture isn't HUGE or else it will make everything stretch to the right.

Aye, Isabella. He does have fine lookin' legs, don't he.

That be a fine piece o'treasure, mate. I'll have t'put it on me Christmas list. Beggin yer pardon, but I took the liberty o'makin' yer link clickable.

Well then I'll consider meself lucky to have been aboard her when she were vistin' San Diego with the Lady Washington. Now I'll be settin' me sites on vistin' the Royalist.

A hot glue gun or craft glue called Aileen's Tacky Glue (especially for felt, fabric, plastic, and wood; dries clear).

Enchantress, which style ye be after? Both me cabin boys have the blue SpongeBob one, but me youngest really don't need a watch. If ye wants it, I'll mail it t'ye.

Matey, it weren't a waste if the lad enjoyed himself. I just don't know what gets into folks. And get yer pictures up sos we kin sees them. Me own cabin boys dress as Hogwarts students, but then we also go to the movie openings in costume as well as conventions; so they get a lot of use out o'their costumes. Me youngest cabin boy were Ash from the Pokemon series this Halloween and I made his jacket. But it were only intended fer trick or treatin' anyway.

Yer a generous fellow, mate. But I be out of work and raising a family on one income. As beautiful as she is, I cain't offer her a home (especially since you're across the country from me). Have ye tried e-Bay motors? There be plenty o'collecters there.

Yes, I wish I could afford the Mustang as well. I've always wanted a convertable. It would go very well next the '68 Mustang hardtop I have in my garage (hubby's toy).

WOW! That is a good deal. I'll have to see if I have any money left over after Christmas. My oldest cabin boy and I had a grand time last year at the Faire; of course we stayed near the youngsters' area.

Um, Pixar didn't do "Ants". That was Dreamworks. "A Bug's Life" was the Pixar one. Well I have kids and I enjoy going to the movies with them. I'm looking forward to Sponge Bob. Glad to hear it lives up to the hype.

Oh but Fairly Oddparents is so over-the-top it's funny. But then I like bad puns and other silliness. Their first "extended feature" had so many Star Wars references in the first five minutes I was howling with laughter!

LOL! Actually, me first mate looked at me when the ads came on TV and said: "Okay, we toss a coin and the loser takes the kids." I told him I'd volunteer. I like Spongebob. (And I thought the David Hasselhoff moment was funny).

AkashaZuul, I be mighty saddened t'hear about yer accident. I hopes ye be mendin' well. As fer yer costumes, you and yer mate look FANTASTIC! I tips me hat t'yer sewin' talent an' hope ye won some sort o'prize fer yer efforts.
