QUESTION FOR THE SCA PEEPS
So I'm making this surcoat 猬囷笍
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And she's a little short(I ran out of fabric and I don't have enough scraps to piece together to make it longer) and it's hitting around my knees rn.
Is there historical precedent to lengthen it with a different fabric? I did some brief googling and this is the only image that has what I'm talking about

I also found this, which looks like they fixed damaged areas more than anything but I will still include it
Tumblr media
If anyone has any other sources that would be MUCH appreciated. I would ask around my shire, but I won't see them until after the event I need the surcoat for. (And like, I'm still new and thus: awkward)
Tldr: anybody have sources for a surcoat hem of a different fabric?

Hi everyone!

A very fun trip to Fort George this summer to see the 1812 reenactment. As I get older the camp life stuff and work in the kitchen becomes a lot more interesting than just the drill and soldiering (still fun). Met lots of great people and learned a lot of cool stuff.

Reenactment after party (driving to and walking around historic sites with your friends because it's not night yet) is my favorite hobby.

Drawings from the Red River Meeting House Grounds - The Location of the Second Great Awakening in 1800
Tumblr media
I had been coming here with my family to their annual Camp Meeting and reenacting events ever since I was three years old. This place is very special to me.
The Forgiveness Tree: Oil-based colored pencil, 5x7"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A year ago, I had brought my sketchbook and some cheap colored pencils to the Camp Meeting. I was uninspired on what to draw, so I asked God to point something out to me. I felt drawn to this particular tree.
Dreama, one of the organizers of this event, asked me to put my drawing in the auction, and I gladly obliged. What I didn't know, is this tree had a story behind it! When the drawing was brought up to bid, someone shouted "Tell us the story!"
"EVERGREEN TREE IN THE CENTER OF THE PROPERTY was planted by devoted prayer warriors having a service some years ago. The group prayed and as the Holy Spirit led, asked forgiveness of wrongs their ancestors had committed against the Native Americans. In turn, a Native American chief was in the group and he also prayed asking forgiveness for what his people had done to the whites. It was a very emotional and precious time with the Lord and each other. The tree symbolizes the forgiveness and love now shared among the people in the United States."
When everyone learned this story, the bids took off! While other items were going for $5-10, my drawing of the "Forgiveness Tree" sold for $45! This is what started it all. This year, I drew it again!
The Stump: Ink Pen, 5x7"

This used to be the home of a very large tree. This tree had a hole in the front of it which I remember throwing walnuts into as a child. It's a shame it was cut down as I remember it fondly, but it appears a new tree is coming up to take its place.
The Meeting House: Oil-based colored pencil, 8.5x5.5"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, a portrait of the titular Meeting House itself.
I will be at the October camp meeting this weekend (Oct 11-13, 2024) and I will be selling prints of these drawings, and the framed originals will be put up in the annual Auction! All proceeds from the Auction go to the upkeep of this historical site!
Even if you can't be there, prints and other products are also available in my TeePublic Store!
