The reason why British people are known for moaning so much about it is its unpredictability. I'm all about maximum wardrobe versatility! Plus, if you're not from or living in the UK, I'll let you into a little secret: the weather here isn't really that bad. All the pieces I'm planning should be layer-able and to be worn in a variety of outfit combos. The reason I haven't called this post 'Autumn/Winter Sewing Plans', is that I expect all these garments will see wear throughout the year, not just in A/W.

TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures, Maps, and Plates. I dedicate this thesis to my father, and especially my mother-in-law in Ponorogo who taught me the beauty of a simple life well lived. In this I have to make special mention of Angelina Waight for our regular Sunday chats which have sustained and nourished my soul through this process. Finally, there are my friends and work colleagues who have persevered through the doubts, peaks, troughs, procrastinations, and seemingly everlasting nature of this project. Their bravado, strength, and sincerity have been a truly enriching experience. And finally, there are the people of Ponorogo. There was inspiration from mBah Dul and late night Sumarah meetings. My extended family provided shelter, love, care, conversation, laughter, and great food. His friendship and dedication not only guided me through many a sensitive situation, but also enabled me to seek far and wide. There are my research assistants, Brewok and Pak Din, and especially Tulus. Special gratitude is owed, of course, to those in Ponorogo who helped, supported, and welcomed me into their lives. I would also like to thank the three examiners for their constructive comments. In Indonesia I am grateful for the assistance offered by LIPI, and Dr Heddy Shri Ahimsa-Putra from the Department of Anthropology at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta. I would also like to thank the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Newcastle for assistance with funding for my field research in Java, grants to attend conferences, and funding for the production of maps by cartographer Olivier ReyLescure from the School of Environmental and Life Sciences. This project also owes much to a Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences supported University of Newcastle Postgraduate Research Scholarship – External. Without her intellectual rigour and stimulation, reading of drafts, friendship and generosity this thesis would not have been completed. First and foremost my sincere gratitude goes to my supervisor, Professor Linda Connor, for her untiring support, encouragement and patience through the many years of writing and reflection.
