Sorry for the delayed response, I'm not sick any more but I'm still not quite up to speed.

The tabbards are very simple- they're basically a large white square with a head hole (an overgrown button hole) that has a stencil border painted on it, and then a smaller square w/head hole that is the color we use for that holiday.  We're using bias tape as edging so we don't need to fuss over hems. The idea is to use them to ID the folks who are leading the ritual, so they should all look similar.  Since we're making quite a few, I tried to keep them very, very simple.   Even so, It will take qiute a few gatherings to finish them.

An iron is probobly a good idea if we want to iron the fabric prior to cutting it.  Sewing machines would be great if you have them.  I have all the fabric/bindings/stencil/paint/thread so that's covered.

If we find we like having some semi-regular creative time after the tabbards are finished, we may be able to schedule this as a genereal stitch and bitch, but I really don't think we'll be at that point for a while.

Thanks for all the help, and see you all tonight!

Hello everyone,  working through the details of hopefully bringing Rhi and Aurora Fri, 3/10.  Can also bring an iron, a table top ironing board and embriodery floss in white and ecru (like slightly off-white)  How creative do we want to be in the future?  I found beading supplies......and do we like daisy chains?  Look forward to meeting you all on Friday.

Y'all are in Pikesville, yes?  I think we can reasonably pick you up, but we drive a Chevy Metro (arguably smaller than a gnat...).  You can email me off-list at Rhi3@comcast.net.

^^^  my mommy every one    OMG THIS THE COOLEST SMILIE!! :blues:   oh yeah I'm supposed to be writing something relavent...... uh.....  oh! My mom and I will be coming and I forgot that I do know how to sew.  I remember doing it in my home economics class in middle school.  Though I may end up with a clump of fabric more so then a tabbard.  also are we doing the kind of tabbard with the coat of arms on it or something else?

Are you still looking for a ride to the Grove on Friday (3/10)?  I was thinking about participating.  This is Middy's mom.  We live not far from you.  I'll send an email to you or you can AOL IM me via genetimom

I suppose not since I seem to have screwed up my dates.....I meant the 3rd and 31st, but I got a little confused.  Ooops!  Considering that I've had a cold all week its probobly for the best for me anyway.  Also, if there's going to be a handfasting on the 31st I guess the tabbards will be postponed then too...  Ah, well, there's always April.  

Sorry for the brain fart.


And Middy, stenciling isn't hard.

I do have a sewing machine and embroidery supplies if necessary--my only setback is getting a ride to the Grove (still no car! A not so interesting story...) I live in the NW part of the city, near 83, if anyone is passing through to get to the Grove. Also: any other supplies needed for the tabbards? Email me at: aurorasilvermane@hotmail.com

Bright Blessings,
Aurora S.

Tabbard making will continue in March on the 10th and 31st starting at 7pm. Last week we figured out the basic design and made four tabbards.  Thanks to Caryn, Rick and Rhi for comming and giving advice, opinions, and help.  I'm picking up a few more supplies this week so we can continue to make the white part of the tabbards.  

We need folks to help sew (please bing your machine) and folks to help stencil the border on to the tabbards already sewn (okay so that's only 4 so far, but hey, every tabbard counts).
