I went to That Medieval Group Thingy's meeting today, and from what I've gathered (though it was a short and not-very-explanatory meeting) it's a bit more "medieval" than Really Really Historical, but I think it'll probably still be fun. At the meeting, we were cutting the shape of shields out of fabric (for some activity thinger, I think), and since they told us to bring scissors for cutting fabric, I had my fabric shears. Thus, I admit to a bit of giggling (mentally, not out loud) at the sight of people trying to cut fabric with paper scissors. Hee.

And one more question...yes, it's a little more specific this time! Is Norris completely unreliable in Medieval Costume and Fashion? Cos I've had that book for a while, and cleverly actually flipped through it yesterday, but I don't  want to be getting totally cracked-out info from it. Yes, Tudor Costume and Fashion with the whole "attifet" nonsense, I'm looking at you. Yep, I read attack_laurel . (And the 1100-1200s have pretties.)
