the other trim to Joann’s Fabric to match it with cotton fabric, as it was on sale at the time, to make a t tunic
and another handsewn dress for Spring Coronation 2023  as inspired by the armored fighter, and a
handsewn Viking inspired dress for Arts in the Park with slits on the sides to allow for breathability after
learning that cotton was not as breathable as originally thought to be.

Also in March 2023, Lord Lucius and I volunteered to help with an SCA demo at the High Desert Pirate
===Crown Garb===
Festival where Lady Roe Bretzke introduced me to the art of inkle looming, which inspired me to make
Garments inspired by her device colors and the device colors of Lord Lucius and his former consort,
matching belts out of cotton crochet thread for my and Lord Lucius’ Spring Coronation 2023 garments as well
[[Alianora MacMahan|THLady Alianora MacMahan]].  
as for our Fall Crown Tournament garments. I found more trim at Spring Coronation 2023 for garments for Fall
 
Crown Tournament 2023 as inspired by the device colors for, myself, Lord Lucius, and his consort,

Cinderella and realizing our colors matched that of Cinderella’s stepfamily, I decided to make favors to go with
 
our garments as well.
Inspired by our device colors once again I made our garments for Spring Crown 2024 out of the unused device colors. As the tournament was set to be cold and rainy, additionally I made muffs to keep our hands warm out of the leftover fabrics.

At Altavia Anniversary 2023, I found more trim to pair with the brown and green plaid linen/rayon
===Embroidery & Beading===
blends I found at Medieval Marketplace 2022 to make my first Viking outfit for the Vista Viking Festival in
 
September 2023. I bought the snake pins from Amazon and the beads, jewelry wire, and end bar from Joann’s

Fabric to make the festoons. Because I was only making an apron with the brown linen/rayon fabric, I decided
 
I had enough fabric to make a matching tunic (9) for Lord Lucius for Leif Erickson 2023. At Leif Erickson,
Duchess Staeina taught me some pointers on embroidery when I expressed my awe of her work and fueled
my plans for a future garment. The two embroidery pieces I created so far have a combination of stem,
outline, detached chain, chain, satin, split, long and short blending, and web stitching.

shapes and make matching tunics for myself and Lord Lucius with the linen I bought on sale Joann’s

I hand sewed all my personal garments using back stitching as I thought this would be the most

authentic way to make garb and I did not trust the sewing machine to not bunch up on me. I also hand sewed
all the trim using a running stitch on the garments as well as I felt machine sewing would cause the thread to
be visible. All the t tunics (3, 7, 8, &amp; 11) follow the pattern provided by the Corvus War Band minus the shape
of the facing/collar.


In an effort to showcase the absurdity that is marginalia, Lady Ovrynka Gaylis drew and colored marginalia on silk fans, which she then distributed at Spring Crown 2025 as her consort gifts.


===Inkle Looming===
After receiving feedback about her first set of fans, Lady Ovrynka Gaylis sought out to find sources of marginalia to reference for more silk fans, including The MET Museum, The Getty Museum, and The Morgan Library and Museum, resulting in another set of 12 silk fans, which won Populace Choice at [[Gyldenholt Anniversary 2025]] and the Largesse Competition at [[Summer Coronation 2025]].
In between making garments for events, I was also actively making belts just for fun. I made about
twelve belts before I decided to take it up a notch with tablet weaving, which did not work in my favor, at
which point, pick-up weaving was suggested to me by Baroness Amabel Radleigh. For inkle looming, I found a
picture online of the design I desired to make, watched a video on YouTube on how to warp a loom and how
to finish a project on the loom, and figured it out from there. For pick-up weaving, I found a website with
instructions on how to warp a loom for pick-up weaving and how pick-up weaving works, then proceeded to
warp a pattern from another picture I found online.
