Patterned braies:
From the Trinity Apocalypse
As soon as i saw that image I knew that I wanted to make patterned braies, so I made hand sewn linen braies with a printed pattern of ermine (from Gotvik's device) for the baron. Here modeled by my husband.
The stamp which I used to make the pattern was my first attemt at carving my own stamps.
It's some kind of plastic material, I got it from Flying Tiger Copenhagen, which is a chain of knick-knack stores.
Me, printing the fabric before sewing the pieces together.
Wow. What a surprising image--stamped (or embroidered?) braies! I never thought underwear was decorated in the Middle Ages.

SvaraRaderaI was really, really surprised about this too.
