Day 78: As newly-appointed Kit Mistress for Sound & Fury Morris, my job is to see to it that members are properly outfitted with the custom costume items they can't buy off the shelves. In particular, this means that I need to have on hand baldrics (bandoliers) and armbands for new members. With Wassail coming up on January 6 and three new people in the side, I have been stitching up a storm the last few days! I'm still short a few bits and bobs, notably our signature logo patches which are at the center crosses of the baldrics (front and back), but fortunately Wassail is largely a celebration which takes place in the homes of other Morris dancers. Only one public performance is on the roster, so hopefully the lack of full regalia will be forgiven.
