So, you have decided that you want to attend the faire and you “don’t have a THING to wear”! There is much information to be found through internet searches and there are many places to purchase your garb. We have gathered some very basic information as well as some simple and inexpensive ways to create your own garb. We do recommend that if you doubt your skills to make a paper pattern first or use inexpensive fabric. We hope we have helped you in your plight!

Coif Directions

A coif may be constructed from linen, wool, cotton, or silk. All classes of people, male and female, wear coifs. They may be worn alone or under hats, helmets, chainmail, or even as a nightcap. To make the pattern you will want to draw the coif onto a large piece of paper or newspaper. Here is how to get your basic pattern.

Robin Hood Cap Directions

We recommend making a newspaper template to ensure your hat is the right size. You will need a sheet of paper and felt approximately 22” x 12”.

Shoe Directions

It is highly recommended that you make a pattern out of paper or felt when making your own shoes. Once you have the pattern, it will be easy to trace and cut from a piece of leather or other heavy material.
