All the skills! Wow! I love your embroidery design! The brooch solution is very clever indeed! I love that you went to archeology camp. If you get tired of backstrap weaving you might enjoy trying an inkle loom for your belts, if you've not already. Elewys of Finchingfield has wonderful KZbin tutorials on historic examples of wonderful designs. Your weaving work is just fabulous though! The whole thing is just gorgeous!

I just can not wait for the next idea and love the historical greek dress plan you are working on too. I do not know how you do it all. Oh, wait! You have sewing machines too. haha. I wish I had taken a course in videography or something while I was working on my degree so I could do some of the things you are doing. What a great video. You do such a great job editing it, and even showing that you make mistakes with your projects, and how you work around them when in a pinch. Thank you for that. Have a Happy Halloween

I'm not actually sure 😅 A quick google search suggests "heddle" for "band weaving". There's also another technique called card weaving which doesn't even require this heddle thing, only some pieces of cardboard, which might be even more accessible to diy at home :) Google it, there a bunch of amazing tutorials on it. ;)

THANK YOU for not calling this cosplay! I hate that word... What you are making is no cosplay but a costume, or rather clothes...which at one time would have been worn by real women of a different era...
@jessicabennett9915 Жыл бұрын
No, it's a cosplay. It's not historically accurate at all. Women wouldn't have worn this during the Viking Era. They would have worn a Rectangular Construction Serk (what she's calling a kirtle) and a Smokkr (apron dress) that would be sewn down the sides with gores. To get even more accurate her turtle brooches should be oval, not round, her beads would be glass, the serk would also be made of wool, and she'd be wearing a light weight linen serk as a base layer under the woolen one. The belt is most accurate, however, it would have been woven using cards, not a heddle. And there is no historical evidence of embroidery on smokkrs. The Norse embroidered very little clothing, most of which is assumed to be ecclesial garments. My sources? Years of historical reenactment making my own serks and smokkrs based on historical grave finds and written accounts by those who encountered the Norse when they went Viking (which is a job title, not a people).
@MikhailaRaibead Жыл бұрын
This is not historic at all. The apron dress would either have been dyed by woad to get a blue colour and be made from linen or wool. It would also not have slits on the side nor have any corset like ties at the side chest area. The dress would never have had that embroidery on it. It was only late Viking age that any embroidery was put on any type of clothing and that was due to Christian influence...the head would need to have a cover like a wimple if the outfit had any embroidery.. this would also be seen as higher status so the clothing would most liked have some blend of silk into it. If it was Viking age then something like the Skjoldehamn find would look similar to embroidery but it was done with small herringbone stitch to reinforce two types of fabrics onto a piece of clothing. The prettiness was secondary. This video shows a wonderful way to LARP as a Viking but does not show historical accuracy.

You are very talented. What skill and care you take in the design and creation of this costume. But it is a costume, so don't worry about the back dart not being historical, the side lace ups are not historical either. The dress is supposed to be loose, not fitted. The belt is there to cinch the dress. And DIY is a bit misleading in the title of the video. It's DIY if you have $10K worth of equipment at home, which most of us don't.

They would have worn a Rectangular Construction Serk (what you're calling a kirtle) and a Smokkr (apron dress) that would be sewn down the sides with gores. The serk definitely wouldn't have had pockets or been form fitting. You did finish your seams the way they would have done in period.

The belt is most accurate, however, it would have been woven using cards, not a heddle. And there is no historical evidence of embroidery on smokkrs, however, there is evidence of card woven trim at the top edge of the smokkr.

It’s a pity that this video is more like a commercial for different sewing machines than a DIY for making a viking dress/costume. Few viewers have the equipment used in the video so you kind of lose interest in it therefore.
