SCA Content Hub

Welcome to the SCA Content Hub. SCA stands for the Society for Creative Anachronism. Clink the link to learn more about the worldwide organization dedicated to learning about and recreating aspects of the medieval and renaissance time periods, throughout the world.

Within the SCA I am known as Lady Ethne an Locha. I live on the southern coast of Ireland, sometime in the 10th through 12th centuries, although, I’ve been known to travel both in time and place to try my hand at new skills. I enjoy making period style clothes using period style tools and methods.

In these more modern times, you can find me attending events in the Kingdom of Æthelmearc. I teach classes on hand sewing, starting with the basics, and moving towards more authentic tools, materials and methods.

Finding the Fit, the first Tudor Kirtle While not technically my first foray into later period fitted garments, it is my most successful to date. I learned a lot about how to customize the fit of a commercial pattern. As well as the fact that I have a lot more to learn.

Finding the Fit, Part 2, the Second Tudor Kirtle This was my second Tudor kirtle, and made for someone with very different body proportions than the first one. Again, I learned a lot about how patterns and customized clothing work on different bodies.
