Finally good photos of one of 12th century gowns

I made this dress from slk shantung back in 2014.  But I never managed to get a good photo of it, just very dark ones from Double Wars 2015


Or sitting down, at Double Wars 2014


But I wore it to Gotvik's Christmas party today, and my friend Mattias took a couple of photos.

I will make a page about it too, maybe even this year.

Buttonholes and buttons

 So now the very old dress that never got finished, that I wrote about in my previous post, is hemmed and has got hand made buttonholes, and brass buttons.



I made the armscyes bigger, which may have been a mistake - but I like being able to move my arms ;)

I have made a toile for sleeves, but haven't tried it on yet. It won't be finished for Gotvik's yule party this Sunday. Mostly because I have taken up knitting again, and that tends to consume me.
