For this years Kingdom Arts and Sciences, I have decided to take a list of clothing requirements from Jamestown and acquire or make as many of the items as is reasonably possible. All of the things will fit in a sea chest\/bench chest, as if my son were going on a voyage to the New World\u00a0 <\/span>in July of the year 1584. I have tried to use only those items that a ten year old child would need or find of interest.\u00a0 <\/span>This project should be titled “How to survive in the New World as a Tudor Cub Scout.” I have been amazed at how versatile the simple Jamestowne clothing list has turned out. I made William three outfits. The colors go together reasonably well, the fabrics are a mix of linen, wool and cotton (as a lining fabric.) The fabric weights are from a light weight linen through a heavy weight linen and a light weight wool. William has 3 shirts, 3 pairs of pants, 3 doublets, a jacket plus a few accessories (shoes, socks, hat, garters, points…) This appears to be a reasonable amount of clothing to fit a variety of needs and temperatures. (If you do not count Pennsic,) I think this might be enough clothing for him to wear for a years worth of events.<\/p>\nMy children have always had far more garb than 3 simple outfits, probably because they have only missed a single Pennsic in all of their young lives. My normal pattern of sewing is to make a complete wardrobe that will last two years. On the off year the child will get 3 new garments in the next size larger. That makes it possible for my children to have garb in the fall. They seem to start growing the minute I am finished with school shopping. I also sew for a friends daughter. She grows in the month that it takes me to finish hemming her new dress; that way she never has to worry about tripping on her new dress, as it is already too short.<\/p>\n
Please look at the different drop down topics for more detailed information and my research\/documentation. I will put some of my comments and what I leaned, plus a picture or two at each of the pages.<\/p>\n
