August Event Grand Opening!!! was created by ColinMcKraegar (ColinMcKraegar)
I am formally and enthusiastically announcing the arrival of a new clothing supplier for the players of Knight Realms. Lauren Seyler, Seamstress, At the Sign of the Crooked Pin. Some of you may better know her as Malleigh McSweeny, or McKraegar since her IG marriage. What you may not know about Lauren is that she is an extremely accomplished seamstress and clothing producer. I am happy to let you all know that Lauren has begun producing clothing for sale at Knight Realms.
She will have several items for sale and several for display at this coming August event. She is offering a wide variety of items for immediate sale as well as custom orders. Her clothing is made predominantly from natural materials, mainly Linen and Cotton. For those of you who are not familiar with linen, its natures under armor. Linen, while being extremely strong and soft, wicks moisture away from the body and keeps you smelling good. I can attest to this as the shirt I wear for KR is a custom piece from Lauren made of unbleached linen. That shirt is also the shirt I use for Revolutionary war re-enacting. Needless to say, I beat the hell out of it, and it has never failed me even through mud, blood, sweat and spilled drink.
I will post a link to Laurens deviant art page which includes pictures of her work later tonight. If you have any questions about what she is able to produce, pricing or examples of work I can address them on the board or in private messaging. Additionally I will be posting a list of what will be available this weekend by tonight. Thank you for reading and I hope to see you at the Sign of the Crooked Pin this market fair!

I'm extremely interested in a quality hooded mantle. I'd be happy to discuss in game details of a specific design :)

I'd be more than happy to discuss any custom pieces in game at Market Faire. I'll have swatches with me of my current in-stock fabric, and I'll bring some from my suppliers, too. And of course my measuring tape! ;)

Thank you! Robes will also be offered as a custom piece- be sure to stop by!
