All this week I have been studying, and so – no time for sewing. I have been doing a little knitting in the evenings though. Since reports on schoolwork are mildly boring at best, here’s a teaser on the folk costume skirt and apron, taken last week.
The skirt is made of heavily fulled wool and the apron is linen (warp) and wool (weft), woven in a pattern typical of the area and time period. More info and pictures on them will come soon.
A teaser indeed! I cannot wait to see the finished outfit!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your pioneer clothing and seeing the photos and tips. Brings back many fond memories of youth pioneer treks!
ReplyDeleteI plan to wear it to the Midsummers Eve celebration - hopefully I'll remember to get some pictures then :)
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! I hate sewing, but I LOVE period clothing. The skirt is gorgeous.
