madPete Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 just trying to get the word out so you have time to think about it! Per William on Facebook... Auction Before the Mast We're planning an after hours auction/fundraiser on Saturday the 16th. A traditional auction before the mast involved the selling of a perished sailor's goods to other crew members, so we'd love donations in that ilk. If you have kit, clothing and other items you'd like to donate, please contact me privately about adding to the sea chest and set aside some money to support the Fort for supporting us! Aye...

Mary Diamond Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Will review my stash and advise… Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPete Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 I will have something for the auction, probably hand made. Just not sure what exactly... yet. Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) I was going through things, and I found a 99% completed shift/smock (women's undergarment). I'm having trouble understanding the find, as it is pretty small, so does not seem like something I was making for wife and made too small (I own to missing the mark on sizing rarely, but this one is way off)... but I don't have any memory of undertaking the project for anyone else. I'll be finishing the last couple of inches of seaming over the next day or two, and will bring it with me for the auction. It should fit a thin woman of average height (or a bit shorter) in the size 0 to size 4 range, and is more of a 18th century design than late 17th c. 100% linen (except the drawstring which I think is cotton, but could be replaced if the potential buyer is that specific in their needs). I might have some other items... but for now, this will be the Bagley's fairly "on-brand" (but slightly off-brand) contribution.

madPete Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 I've heard of the hat swap game, and sometimes people wander home with the wrong hat, but... 😜 Actually good to see woman's items too! Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL.... Naw, this shift is definitely my work and has never been worn. It just baffles me that either: A] I made it for someone as a gift and forgot who or B] Made it for my wife and was that way-off on sizing. (I mean we all make mistakes, but when I mess up, it is usually a little too snug, or a bit too big.... this "mistake" if that is what it is, just falls outside of my margin of error) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
