I did want to pass on some info that I picked up in regards to costume patterns.

I came across a company on the web called Jas. Towsend & Sons, Inc. They specialize in supplying 18th and 19th century reproductions for living history. Obviously the wrong century for Faire, but many of the clothes and patterns they sell can easily be adapted for a basic peasant look.

Their patterns sell for around $7.00. They can also make the clothes for you at a really reasonable price. I currently have on order a bodice and drawstring skirt that including shipping will cost me under $50. They also sell period glasses, knives, coins, shoes, etc.

The address to their web page catalogue is: www.jastown.com

To receive a catalogue by mail you can call them at 1-219-594-5852 or FAX 1-219-594-5580. Their mailing address is:

Jas. Townsend & Son
PO Box 415-W
Pierceton, IN 46562
