Thanks! I've only had one design published so far (the A Second Chance
for Mr. Rushworth Socks in the 2014 issue of Jane Austen Knits
magazine), but I have a shawl pattern that I'm hoping to publish
independently soon. My Ravelry name is LadySylvia; the sock pattern is

I'm still here, though do most of my costume talk on FB these days as well.
I'd LOVE to be making something (so many things!) but I'm working on a book
(not costume related). I've discovered I have time to write or costume, but
not both.
I am still attending the Tudor Tailor weekend next June in
delphia to see if I can find any
references. But I haven't gotten there yet--so many subjects, so little time!

I actually wonder about how charity sewing would fit in to the fancy
vs plain sewing rule in Mansfield Park there is one evening (I think
they have company over but I can't remember) when Mrs Norris complains
that Fanny should be sewing and if she has nothing of her own to work
on there is plenty o
reenacting decisions, your
mileage may vary.

Hi, Susan,
I take it you mean the agricultural worker's smock? (Smock was also used as
a synonym for a woman's shift or chemise.) I've never heard of the outer
garment being worn by women.

Mine would be wearing a hand-sewn man's Viking tunic and a woman's Viking coif.
I'm doing some detailed embroidery on the coif for a friend who has had breast
cancer this year.
