Barter stack: things Alesone needs...

[alysten]

I am always asked what need in the way of barter in exchange for sewing.

1. Dress stand. I need to construct a dress stand that can be taken apart and transported. I am looking for wood construction. This would be used to handle duct tape doubles on for sewing work as well as display. I need to be able to have varying arm holes for different heights (it should be able to accommodate Lissa sized as well as Griff sized people).

Other types of barters:
2. Spices. Hard to find medieval spices (grains of paradise, mace blades) are always great currency.
3. If you iron it, and cut it, I will sew it.
4. This for that... Brew, cord, knit [enter your thing there] for sewing.

I know where to get the blade mace. I have a small tin of it here at the house that I picked up for cooking from an 18th century heralist. If you do not need that much I can get you some.

I am not sure how much I actually need. There are a couple of recipes that call for mace blades. I used ground mace, which was divine. But grounding anything from the source just before use, always produces a superior product. If you can point me in the general direction of where you got yours from, that would be immensely helpful as well.
