HEAR YE, HEAR YE!!
I, Greet, hereby open Greet's Guy's Garb, a clothes-making effort in service to my non-sewing compatriots. Since I wish to encourage the learning of skills, I accept barter in lieu of Washington's currency (see Wishlist below). (***NEW! Download Garb Measuring Worksheet here.

[Please note: page under construction - if patterns or pics do not appear, check back later - I'm still collecting!]
I have sewn a 14thc French outfit for my husband, a 16thc Saffron Shirt for a Highland Scot, and am working now on a Norman tunic for the 3rd Crusade. Pictures below.
All terms are always negotiable. I can use your material or choose for you. Suggestions for trade - please contact me first, in case someone has beaten you to the Wishlist item:
QUICK AND EASY = pair of detached chausses (close-up of Daan's chausses on its way), or fighting T-tunic, or basic pants, or chaperon hood PIC (think 2-4 hours work)
I'd like in exchange:
- 14thc wooden pattens - see pattern and shoe trace here. (I have the leather and poplar for this - I just need labor interested in shoemaking/leatherwork)

- Collection of guitar music, including chords.
- Edible currency - bottles of wine, honey, etc.
- Archer's armband, arrows, bowstring, quiver, etc. (need to figure out length of arrows)

- set of cast buttons, see description here.
- 15thc leather turnshoes, I wear an 8, see patterns/instructions here.
- Handcranked spindle wheel, see instructions here.
- A packable, comfortable chair, please suggest design. (It's going to sit on my porch mundanely, so it also needs to resist the elements.)
- Foldable handtruck, please suggest design.
- Bucket carrier (I have two buckets) like this.
REALLY SPIFFY = complete 14thc outfit, braies to chaperon, no leather accessories.
I'd like in exchange:
- Trestle table, see description here (under negotiation).
MASTERWORK = complete Elizabethan outfit, no leather accessories.
- 12' diameter 14th c single pole tent, as described here - I need a pole that breaks down into 6' segments, to fit in my car.
