Its armor and weapons or massive bling - there's no in between with this kid. She finally approves of the dress.

Tunic is linen from armstreet. Dress is made from bargain bin knit fabic with a fulled appearance to conceal the weave. Panel is cotton with brocaded trim, and beads are plastic so I won't regret if they break. Is it a bit overboard? Yeah, but if it gets her to play then cool beans. Now I need to make something for the wife to complete a full family outfit in norse theme. I look forward to being finished so we can maybe pay a visit to to the land of liripipes next

Day 2, weekend 4 of Faire of Champions. The youngling came out to visit for Viking Invasion in her hangeroc/smokkr and skjoldehamn belt

Fatherhood is a silly place

Posting something new since I just remembered I’ve not posted here in a while, I’ve nearly finished this smokkr/hangeroc/apron dress! It’s a nice shiny fine wool with a slightly weird twill weave, I’m going to dye it to resemble madder-dyed wool so it’ll be a nice warm brownish colour. I’ll soon buy a pair of tortoise brooches for it but in the meantime I’ll borrow a friend’s. I have an event coming up soon with very loose dates and locations in terms of impressions so I’m going to pair it with a belt woven in an Icelandic style and wear my Icelandic “wolf cross” so I can portray an Icelandic woman of c.1000ce

                       (   instead of another embarrasing photo of my face for munday, have a commission that was finished today? -- I absolutely love the combination of the colours the client chose. It’s a shame my camera has changed the colour of the hangeroc a little in these photos.               find HULDRESS on instagram && facebook   )

Mjolnirs from Nordulf Earrings from Urweg Brooches from Pera Peris

Glass, bone and basalt beads from Dressew and Shipwreaked

Dresses, pouches, sheath, (unseen) shoes, chain necklaces, rings, and belt made by me. The open-sided style of the “apron dress”/Hangeroc/smokkr was chosen solely to show off the decorative stitching on the dress underneath. Otherwise I find it very frustrating and impractical.

One of the pouches was made using a goat hide I bought in 2012 from the icelandic goatfarm Háafell, the other was recycled from an old vintage cutter coat.

Sword is Hanwei Tinker 9th Century Viking Sword, please feel free to get me a different one :D

Bargain fabric bin for the win! Two rectangles and two trianges (gores) sew together into:

A flared tube

Found a thread so closely matched that these whip stitches are near invisible. This will provide a stretch stitch on the rolled hem because this is a knit fabric, and will allow it to stretch with her as she grows. I've used a bias tape on the seams to provide a bit of structure. I have no idea how this is going to turn out as it's my first apron dress. YOLO etc.

Shoulder strap time. I've sewn the knit fabric onto cotton strips top inside) to prevent stretching/provide structure. I'm rolling the excess and securing it with a hidden stitch (bottom right)

And there it is: a threenager size hangerok/apron dress (brooches for effect), approx 22 inches from hem to hem not counting straps. Material cost is less than 10usd in fabric. Now to work on an apron panel for the front and maybe some beads.

Not finished yet, but this is the current mock up of the younglings dress. There will be more green in the end. I do not like the beads - I like the idea of the beads, just not these beads in particular.
