#viking garb

[demonindistress]

Me and Josefine took some pictures of our kits in Visby this weekend. This is some of my oldest pieces, but with regular boots as my handsewn got wet and were drying. The black underdress and the grey apron has been with me since I started sewing. Although many things can be said about the mistakes I made and the *cough* let's say "fantasy inspired take", it's some of my most comfortable pieces, and I'll probably keep them till they fall apart.

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

My wife and I are having a debate about my early medieval norse garb for winter ren faire/Yule.

She thinks adding the tablet weave belt on this wool tunic as matching lower trim will be too much, too garish. That I should keep it as a belt and be done.

I think I should add it as trim, with green/blue braids, maybe some embroidery on the brown panels, and use a second woven belt in a brighter color.

A tropey furry hat of questionable historical accuracy. Be the type of chubby bastard you'd expect to see in a movie crawling out of a hut with a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Maybe some Hogfather tusks.

Sometimes a Saturday just involves getting on the bus in full viking garb because there’s no other way to realistically get to an event (unfortunately there is not a river in between me and it so I can’t just build a longship and sail that)

After a bit of a hiatus, I have returned to the land of YouTube! I made Viking pants from Hedeby using a thrift store tablecloth.

Norse garb update. I know the light is bad but it's what I have to work with without going outside in 90 degrees while wearing wool.

New boots and a woven cotton belt. Cotton belt is a place holder for the skjoldehamn belt I am braiding. Tablet weave has now been added to the bottom panel of the tunic

This tunic is all wool so I think I'm going to make some sort of rectangle bib for feasting/working and scotch guard the crap out of it.

And now with the cloak, which I also need to scotch guard

Random stick for effect

Hat trim is all fingerloop braid.

And back down to a linen undertunic/hot weather kit. Yes the tunic is short. I regret hemming it. Will make my own custom fitted undertunic eventually with this as an overtunic. This is what I wore to the SCA, minus the leather belt.

Oh I have winningas leg wraps, but I'm waiting on the small pennanular brooches to keep them from falling down, so not shown in this update

First attempt at a skjoldehamn hood - trying to get it in while the toddler is asleep I had to get out the seam ripper a couple of times but it's good enough for personal garb. Started getting warm while waiting for the camera - fleece was a good choice. I've got enough fabric to crank out 5 more in gray, dark blue, and black.

Happy Workshop Wednesday!!

It’s been super busy in the workshop as we get closer and closer to the first event of this years faire lineup. :)

That being said I managed to snag a  couple photos of a few of the items that have gone off to their new adventurers this week, and photos of some bread I recently made, because carbs are life. :)

Just a friendly reminder that there are less than 7 days left to snag items from the online shop before I temporarily close it down and take everything to faire, so if you desire any of the Limited Edition items this may be your last chance to grab them.

Thank you all again for your support and kind words!

Lots of Love to you all. ❤️
