This past Saturday, April 26th at the Quest for the Golden Seamstress event in the Barony of Roaring Wastes, Gianna Nicole Vettori and I served as judges and had a great experience. Nine teams of six or fewer artisans competed to create a complete historic outfit — including accessories like shoes, belts, and trim — during a 20-hour overnight stitchapaloza. Teams had to bring all materials with them, as no one could leave once the competition began. Afterward, there was a fashion show where outfits were judged on materials, fit, scope, workmanship, and completeness, along with special points for inspiration, on-site accessories, overall "wow" factor, and team garb. The maximum score possible was 205 points.
There is a chance that Rebecca Muller may have convinced us to put together a team of our own for next year.
