On Saturday, September 22nd, Mistress Alphia Biras-pars, Master
Bubba Godgodsson, Lord Bartelmeu le Wis, and Tiarna Cináed Ulric did a
demo out at the Boy Scout’s Beaumont Campground’s Fall Fest. There was
some fencing by Alphia & Bartelmeu, usual Q & A about items on the static
displays and what are Society is, and the Scouts & their family members were
able to try out two games: one was the Scandinavian game of hunker hauser
and a training pole arm exercise where one, in numerical order, had to knock
beasties off their pedestals. Great fun was had by all.
Champions and they are being
allowed to return to their homes.
We therefore invite all authorized
fighters; Rapier and Rattan to
declare their intentions and take
the field.
The gathering will be on
the afternoon of Sunday, Octo-
ber 21. It shall be held at Moody
Park (sometimes called Lon-
gacre Park) in the fair city of
Fairview Heights. We expect to
begin gathering at 2 pm and
start the tourney close to 3 pm.
We would enjoy a potluck picnic
following. Park grilles are avail-
able on site to use. Please Join
Us.
We would also like to re-
mind all that at the beginning of
next month is our hosted event,
Crystal Ball. We need all hands
present for set up on Friday, tear
down & clean up on Sunday, and
all other duties in between on
Saturday. Please see Tiarna
Cináed Ulric for volunteer service
sign up.

Greetings,
We would like to remind
the populace of the fall Baronial
gathering, Court, and Tourney in
which we shall select some of
Our new Baronial Champions.

It is with extreme sadness that we must announce that
one of our newest members, Andrew Duncan, was involved in
a horrific car accident on Monday, September 24th, and thus
moved on to the Golden Kingdom.
He was interested in Armored Fighting and was very
happy to learn explore all aspects the SCA had to offer. Al-
though new to many of us, several Baronial members had
known him for upwards of up to fifteen or more years.
In the Kingdom of Mundania, Andrew was also a mem-
ber of both Gothic Lodge #852 & Ainad Shrine, local
branches of the Freemasons & Shriners International. As
such the family had requested that in lieu of flowers dona-
tions be made in his name to the Shriner’s Hospital for Children or Gothic Lodge #852 Scholarship Fund.
Please keep Andrew’s family and friends in your thoughts, and reach out to them in kindness and
support.

Historical Background:
During the 16th century hats were considered an essential garment and fashion accessory. Men
were seldom seen outside of the home without a hat. Women in the upper and middle classes and coun-
trywomen also commonly wore a variety of styles of hats. Married women in Northern Europe wore their
hair pinned up and covered, usually by a caul or coif. The styles of hats varied by region and women wore
hats similar to those worn by men, often in a smaller or miniature size. Structured hats were made with a
diverse range of materials including silk, velvet, taffeta, leather, felt and beaver. 1
Like all fashion, hat styles varied by region and different styles went in and out of fashion. During
the first half of the 1500’s, sovereign Francis I and his retinue heavily influenced fashion and French
fashions were worn and copied throughout Europe. The French wore large brimmed felt hats decorated
with buckles and feathers and flat black velvet caps decked with a feather. In Germany, wool felt hats
had a tight lifted brim, while the English, not fond of novelties from abroad, remained faithful to large
caps and classic tall and medium felt hats. The Spanish preferred conical hats with tall crowns. In Spain a
wide brimmed felt hat decked with a feather was the preference. Later in the 16th century the French
hood was worn by noble women in France, England and throughout Italy.
The nobility of the 16th century enriched their hats with ribbons and lace. Muslims wore a felt
head dress, called Fez, in the south of Europe. Hats began to be used by nobles as a sign of rank and the
practice spread to the merchant class.
The focus of this class is structured hats. Unstructured (soft) hats such as the flat cap where also
prevalent during the 16th century and there are many portrait examples and some extant examples.
Extant Examples:
Period methods of construction can be derived from the few existing extant examples. A find from
the Little Samford Church in Essex, England used felted wool for the shape and the hat was covered in
embroidered silk. The blue felted wool was molded to form a seamless crown and brim. 2

Construction of a Structured Hat
Materials:
Foundation Material (sturdy material such as buckram, heavy felt, heavy paper, or plastic canvas).
Covered Wire
Bias tape
Craft Fleece
Fabric for covering (Velveteen is our favorite)
Ribbon for Hat Band
Feathers
Tacky glue
Thread and Needle
Methods Used for Making Hats:
Structured hats require a foundation material that is covered by fabric. Based on extant garments
it appears that during the 16th century felt was used as the foundation material. The felt was likely
stretched over a form and then stiffened using a shellac or glue, then covered with a richer fabric. How-
ever since we are not period millianers and do not have access to hat forms we will be teaching you to
construct hats using a more modern method with materials that can be more easily obtained.
Any stiff material can be used as the foundation material. Some re-enactors use plastic canvas
because it is impervious to water and difficult to crush. However we like the results that we achieve using
Buckram. Buckram is a stiffened canvas that comes in several different weights. The heaviest weight
material makes the sturdiest hat. For a stiffer material you can fuse of glue layers of buckram together.
After cutting the hat crown, top and brim from buckram, wire is attached to the edges of each
piece. I prefer to use Millinery Wire which is covered and does not kink when bent. The wire provides ad-
ditional structure and allows the brim of the hat to be adjusted to suit the wearer. Wire can be sewn by
hand or by machine. When sewing my machine, use a long, wide zigzag stitch and a stitch length of 2-3.
Line the edge of the brim and the Millinery wire up with the center of the foot. Start stitching at the center
back of each piece, and go slowly. You want to make very, very sure that you don’t hit the wire with the
needle, as it will break the needle. A pin tuck foot is helpful to keep from breaking your needle. About 2″
before you complete the brim, cut your wire so that you will have about an inch of overlap. Where the
wires overlap, you’ll simply continue to zigzag with them right next to each other, again being very careful
not to hit wire with needle. I like to cut the piece of wire off from the main roll after the brim is mostly
wired. (This prevents annoying measuring errors.) I don’t back tack this, because the inch overlap is more
than sufficient to keep things from pulling out.
Once the wire has been attached it should be covered with bias tape. This softens the edge. The
bias tape can be sewn or glued.
At this point the crown and top are usually sewn together and then “fulled” or covered with craft fleece.
The fleece can be glued or stitched to the outside of the hat and to both sides of the brims.
Once the hat has been covered with fleece, the outside covering is sewn together and placed over the hat
form. Then the parts of the hat are sewn together. Finally the lining in stitched to the inside of the hat.
Decorative elements such pearls, gems, or spangles scan now be stitched to the hat covering.

Continuing from August’s Heraldry issue, we’d like the Baronial members to next think on and con-
template the following three awards of the Barony and their badge design:
The Order of the Lapis Rose:
The Order of the Lapis Rose is an Baronial award that is given in the Barony of Shattered Crystal
for extensive service to the barony.
The Order of the Azure Stanchion:
The Order of the Azure Stanchion is an Baronial award for those who support and facilitate the arts
martial & general service.
The Order of the Topaz Barb:
The Order of the Topaz Barb is an Baronial award that is given in the Barony of Shattered Crystal
for prowess and leadership in the baronial archery corps.
Her Excellency, Petrona, invites members of the Barony to come up with ideas for these honors so
that we may get them sent in and finally approved by the SCA heralds. Send ideas to her in description or
art work form, whichever suits one best. Remember designs do not have to be literal in “translation”, and
as we submit names and pictures of the awards, some names may change, and thus the design will too.
Keep thinking, submit, and discuss. Below are some ideas for the above listed awards.
From left to right:
Cináed’s thought for the Order of the Lapis Rose, followed by Master Avery’s
vision for the same honor based off of the tradition of a pirate ship known as “The
Rose” within the Barony (It’s a great story ask folks about it).
Next: Avery’s thought for the Order of the Azure Stanchion.
Finally: Cináed’s thoughts for the Order of the Topaz Barb.

On Saturday September 22, the Barony of Three Rivers did host a
wonderful event called Crucible at the Crossroads, in which four groups of
people were invited to participate in a variety of friendly competitions:
Archery, Armored Combat, Banner Design & Making, Cut & Thrust, Saxon
Cooking, Volunteer Service, and Youth Combat. The Kingdom of Calontir
was represented by three groups consisting of the Baronies of Lonely
Tower & Mag Mor, the Barony of Coeur d’Ennui, and the Baronies of For-
gotten Sea & Vatavia. The fourth team was a most gracious invitation and
honorable challenge to us, the Barony of Shattered Crystal.
Knowing that in accepting this challenge, we not only competed for
ourselves but also for the reputation of the Middle Kingdom, our Excellen-
cies, with organizational assistance from Maitre Philippe de Lyon, did as-
semble a most worthy team of members, neighbors, and friends of the Barony to take to the field of com-
petition: Ástríðr Árnarðóttír, Avery Austringer, Briana Morgan, Caroline de Mercier, Christofle Etienne de
Lorraine, Corasande of Starrhill, Fintan MacAldin, Gavin MacFergus, Ixtilixochitl de los Indios, Jake
Ástríðrsson, Jhondo Oakenshield, Khadagan, Kurro Ookami, Muirgheal O’Seannaig, Nessa Von Metten,
Nicholaus De Fonte, Oda Umi, Petrona de Manciano, Philippe de Lyon, Remy De Gevaudan, Robert
Thorne, and Seraphina Masherante,
When the dust from the field, the steam from the pots, and this hiss of the bowstrings became set-
tled and silenced, lo, did our team prove victorious. To which our representatives were called into court
and they were presented with an award scroll which reads:
“Know all ye to whom these present letters shall come that team Shattered Crystal being
inspired by Philippe & its members having demonstrated exceptional chivalry & prowess upon the
fields of combat, arts &
sciences, & service have
proven victorious in the
Crucible at the Cross-
roads on this twenty-
second day of Septem-
ber, Anno Societatis fifty-
three, being two-
thousand & eighteen by
Gregorian reckoning.
Well done, these gentles
please Their Majesties of
Calontir & be declared
Champions.”
For upholding the pride
of the Barony and the Middle
Kingdom, please give a rounding
“HUZZAH!” to these good gen-
tles next time you meet them.

Skirts can be attached to a waistband or to a bodice. Skirt attachments are very regional and dif-
ferent methods were used during different time periods. You should do some research before deciding
how to construct the skirt for your particular costume. When you are doing research, if you find a picture
of the dress you want to make, take the time to figure out the artist, time period, and country that it
comes from. During my research I have noticed the extensive use of pleating, both rolled pleats and sim-
ple pleats in German portraits. Cartridge pleating has been associated with English Tudor and Elizabe-
than garments. Keep in mind that sometimes it is difficult to see the waistline of the dress in a portrait.
Women often hold their arms at their waist, making it difficult to tell how the skirt was attached to the
bodice. You should find other portraits that are from other artists from the same time and country, which
may provide details that the first portrait may not have fully shown.
When considering which way you want to attach your skirt consider the undergarments. Corsets,
bum rolls, petticoats, and farthingales do help to hold the weight. I am even considering the addition of
the use of suspenders.
In a discussion concerning separate bodice and skirt, we do not like the chemise gap that sometimes
happens. You can use basting, ties, or hooks and eyes to attach the skirt to the bodice to avoid having
your chemise peek out from under the bodice.
Types of skirts Circle skirts:
Commonly used by Middle Eastern dancers, but I have been unable to document use during the
period.
Advantages: No bulk at the waist, skirt swings very nicely.
Disadvantages: Wastes fabric
Gored/Paned skirts:
Advantages: Less bulk at the waist with fullness at the hem.
Disadvantages: Layout to reduce waste can be complex; napped fabrics cannot be laid running
the same way without lots of waste. Also, if you plan to wear a bum roll, paned skirts may not be a very
good choice because they do not have enough fullness at the waist the get the proper effect.
Rectangular skirts:
Advantages: Easy to cut and measure; there are several different ways of to attach to the other
fabric.
Disadvantages: I personally can not find one.
Types of rectangular skirts
Gathering:
Advantages: Easy to construct, rectangular, few measurements, can be machine or
hand sewn.
Disadvantages: it can look bunchy at the attachment
Simple pleats (knife pleats):
Advantages: Lays very flat at the waist
Disadvantages: Construction is more difficult with many measurements to ensure
that pleats are even.
Box pleats:
Advantages: Lays very flat at the waist
P a g e 1 8 V o l u m e 3 0 , I s s u e 6
P a g e 1 9 T h e S h a r d s
Disadvantages: Construction is more difficult with many measurements to ensure that
pleats are even. You also need to make that you fold correctly to keep the pattern.
Cartridge pleating:
Advantages: Looks very historic, well documented, uncommonly used (makes the costume
look very authentic).
Disadvantages: Hand sewn
Rolled pleats:
Advantages: Lays flat at the waist, very historic (regional) .
Disadvantages: Uses lots of fabric, household sewing machines may not be able to handle
the thickness of the fabric required (may require an industrial machine).
Construction Methods
Circle skirts: Depending on the width of the fabric, you may have to sew two sides together first.
Calculate the radius of the circle from the circumference of your waist. Fold into quarters , draw, then cut
the waist, then add length and draw and cut the larger circle. To make the radius, I use a string tied to a
pencil, hold the other string end to the corner and then draw the arc.
Gored/Paned skirts: Sew the panes together, then, ease the skirt waist to the bodice or waist-
band.
Gathering: For the measurement of the width of the skirt I use 3 times the waist measurement.
As I was taught in school with a 5/8-inch seam, baste at ½ inch and at ¾ inch, then using the top threads
pull (gather) tight to center from both sides. Release till the skirt waist matches to the bodice or waist-
band. Sew them together and pull basting threads.
Simple pleats (knife pleats): For the measurement of the width of the skirt I use 3 times the waist
measurement. The easy way for me is to pin the edges of the skirt to the waist, then match centers and
pin. Continue to center and pin until you have the size of pleat that you want. Fold the pleats down and
sew.
Box pleats: For the measurement of the width of the skirt I use 3 times the waist measurement.
This is for a 2” pleat, you can alter to the size pleat you will want in your outfit. The way for me is to pin
the edge of the skirt to the waist, then pin the waistband or bodice every inch. I then pin the skirt every 3
inches. Staring at the end that is pined together I start matching pin to pin. Fold the pleats down one,
one way then the next the opposite and sew.
Cartridge pleating: For the measurement of the width of the skirt I use 4 times the waist measure-
ment. You have to finish the top edge of the skirt before pleating. You should either face or line the skirt
for the pleats to fall properly. You can also add a layer of felt between the skirt and facing (or lining) to
give the pleats more definition. After finishing, measure and mark the skirt into quarters. Finish your
bodice edge and mark it into quarters as well. Cut a very long piece of strong thread (Coats and Clark
Strong Outdoor Thread is recommended). Make even basting stitches approximately ½ inch apart (I use
the edge (width) my tape measure as a guide) from the edge to the ¼ marking. Then go back and baste
at exactly the same place 1/2-inch from the other basting. Do this for each ¼ of the waist. Sew the
each pleat to the edge of the bodice or waistband. I would sew with a very strong thread at both the top
and bottom of the pleats.
Rolled pleats: For the measurement of the width of the skirt I use 5 times the waist measure-
ment. Can be done similar to the knife pleats, but there is a lot more fabric to deal with. Fold the pleat in
half and then fold over (with both folds in the same direction.) You will have 5 layers of skirt fabric that
will be sewn into the bodice or waistband.
This is a good site to show how to do pleating if you have the internet available to you. http://
www.elizabethancostume.net/pleats/
And another one for the cartridge pleating to use is this one find the one is easiest to the way you
think. http://www.renaissancetailor.com/demos_cartridgepleating.htm
