Our church held a Reformation Day learning about the Reformer John Huss. He was a cleric from the turn of the 14th century 80 years before Martin Luther nailed his theses to the cathedral doors at Wittenberg. Huss was the "Grandfather of the Reformation." Costumes are not required but most wear costumes. We made four Knight costumes and two princess costumes. I learned how to look at clothes in a new light as I scoured the racks at Goodwill to envision skirts and drapes becoming capes and bathrobes becoming a dress. I also visited our local fabric shop a couple of times to gather necessary fabric. Elizabeth and Matthew were quite a help. Elizabeth sewed some seams and ties together while Matthew made crosses and ironed them on.
A fun day was had by all!
