In-person Sewing 2/11, 2/18, 2/25

There are in-person sewing Saturdays in February. The first one is this Saturday 2/11. The location is 1105 Shady Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232. The goal is to help people make Japanese garments. I will help you make a hakama pants or skirt and/or a short or long kosode. There are machines here, but you can also bring your own.

Ideally, you should have linen or cotton already washed. If you are using wide linen 55″, then you need about 4 yards for hakama and short kosode, you need five yards for long kosode. If you are using narrow cotton 44″, add an extra yard. So 5 yards for hakama and short kosode, and 6 for long kosode. (actual amounts may vary depending on your dimensions).

Sewing starts at noon and goes to six. Masks are required and eating food is not allowed inside. Drinks must be drunk from a straw with masks on. I will have a heated area in the garage with corsi-rosenthal boxes to allow some mask free space.

If you plan to come, please let me know, sewing (at) debatablelands (dot) org.

Baronial Election Update – Delays

Salve Accolens Debatable Lands,

Alas, but we meet with further delays in our election process. SCA Corporate Office has not yet been able to deliver us a Membership list with addresses to mail out the ballots. As of today 2/7/23 we have less than one month until the Ballot Counting meeting on March 5th. Baronial Policy states the counting must occur at least 1 month after the ballots are mailed, and so unfortunately the March 5th Counting meeting must be cancelled.

We will need to reschedule that Counting Meeting so that the ballots can be tallied and our successors announced, but we cannot do so until we know when we can mail out the ballots. We will let all of you know as soon as the Election Committee is able to mail out ballots and then move on to the next step in the process.

The election page will be updated with the new deadline as soon as we are able to correct it. In the mean time you can still view candidate info here:

Brandubh et Hilderun
