Who am I?

My name is Jen, but within the Society for Creative Anachronism I’m known as Genovefa de Hareflot. I am not a historian, but I am an enthusiastic history nerd, gardener, and artist who loves to share my passions with others. I started sewing as a child, dyeing using plants not long after, and weaving during college. Finding accurate, helpful information on these skills has always been an uphill battle in my experience, so it is my goal to share what I know so others don’t have to start from scratch. Here you can find my notes, experiments, patterns, and more.
