Our latest SCA medieval re-enactment outfits, Viking (plus bonus picture of flemish garb I made many moons ago)

The red tunic was made by RovingAnarchist in a recent craftster swap www.craftster.org It needed a little adjustment.

To create complete outfits, I made some white tunics to go underneath, A Viking hat , trousers and a tunic for the Mister. And the piece de resistance a fully reversible wool coat for me.

A long time ago when I lives in the kingdom of Lochac. I made a 15Century flemish outfit. Dusted off, it looks like this.

Such a neglected blog. Here are a few things that I have made in the last while.

Some printed fabrics

This is a simple dalek print, A lino cut onto some tie-dyed fabric, The strips of fabric were inserted into a pair of pillowcases. For Dr, Who dreams. The same fabric was used to make a christmas stocking. The tardis stocking was appliqued, as a matching set. 

napkins printed with a martlet, for medieval re-enactment

Celtic knotwork crow. Corvids are amazing, this was another lino cut onto fabric, strips inserted into a pair of pillowcases

The ground fabric has been tie-dyed and overprinted with a fairly simple lino cut. Celtic knotwork

Medieval re-enactment, my other obsession

I have been a member of the society for medieval re-enactment (SCA) for quite a few years now. I have to confess to knowing bugger all about history but I do love sewing, I particularly love making lots of elaborate garb. I made this tabard for a friend of mine, its mostly made in velvet with the images appliqued on. It took more time than I care to remember but it looks fab on him!
