As I wrap up the robe project. I’ve started on a matching hat (see previous post), that will be embroidered with gold vines and green leaves, as well as one gold crescent moon. The crescent moon is a symbol of our burgeoning Principality. I’ve also been letting the idea of a 7th Century Persian diadem, [...]

Embroidery begun Nearly done! I now have to patiently wait while the lining settles before putting on the finishing touches! I’ve been working my fingers and sewing machine to their nubs making a set of matching Persian and Viking robes for my partner, Eldgrimr, and me! I’ve just gotten down to the last bit of work to do on his Viking robe. He is out of town, so his will have to go on hold [...] The first Insulae Draconis Coronet Tourney is only three weeks away. I have put a lot of work into making this happen.

My goal is to have these, a pair of robes (for Elgrimr and I), a sew of embroidered gloves and perhaps a headpiece done for Coronet in just a few weeks.

I’ve managedd to get half way [...] Thanks to YarninmyPocket and all those who helpd answer my questions on Weavolution and Raverly! I finally got my head wrapped around the 2/1 rigid heddle twill. Thank goodness I asked for help when I did. It only took me one evening to redo the first half of the stripes, plus I got another one [...] Well as is usual, I get out of the habit of things. I took some time tonight to get back to moving pages over to this new site! I copied and pasted my Sasanian Clothing Class handout into it’s own page here. Then I had to insert the images into the appropriate locations. I took [...] I enjoyed my 5th or 6th trip to The Original Re-enactors Market (TORM) in Coventry today! There are other markets that I prefer for fabric, but TORM does provide an opportunity to shop for a variety of kit. We only got a bit of fabric there (9.5 mtrs of a fabulous blue twill). Eldgrimr also [...] |
