As I sit here mending garb for Pennsic, I wonder - could it be financially reasonable for someone to sell ordinary sewing supplies at Pennsic? Regular Coats & Clark thread, snaps, hooks, needles, etc. I suspect the return on costs wouldn't be adequate to support a booth, alas, but I recall I wanted to fix my hem last year and couldn't find someplace to buy plain dark green thread. (Linen, silk, cord, oh sure: but not sewing thread.)

Dragon's Magic, which is the merchant in the caravan by the barn, has thread. Last year, I purchased thread and fabric from them, and they gave me a free wooden needle case with sewing needles in it.

Good marketing, too, since the wooden needle case has their name written on it. Otherwise, I never would have remembered.

Beat me too it. Dragons magic has mending supplies.

Most years so will I. :)
