I have been sewing authentic medieval clothing for a while now, but I didn't have any pretty pictures with those. Luckiliy the lovely Calisere helped me out. She ordered the late medieval green wool dress - reconstructed after the finds in Herjolfsnes - and also organized the photoshooting. I think they created many beautiful, magical [...]
I am still trying my hand at different medieval crafts. So I came across Nålebinding or needle binding. Needle binding is the precursor of knitting & crocheting. With knitting & crocheting you are using loops to form a fabric. With needle binding on the other hand you are using more or less complicated knots. For [...]
It has been quiet for a while on the website. But I haven't been idle in the meantime. For example I made twelve mini top hats and seven fascinators for the Guggamusik d'Hardar Schlösslefeagar (https://www.schloesslefeagar.com/). The Hardar Schlösslefeagar is a carnival music club (in case you don't know what Guggamusik is ;) ) and they [...]

The outfit has been photographed several times already. The corset is made by me. And the rest is also from my closet, but I didn't create it. Even if this isn't something [...]
Ok, this is not really historical tailoring, but I painted a Starcraft 2 Zerg tshirt as a Christmas present. And since it is the first round of the Starcraft 2 World Championship this weekend, I thought I would post it anyway. And it was even a Zerg player that won this tournament. If a Protoss [...]
I recently tried my hand at another old craft. This time it was tablet weaving. Tablet weaving is a technique to weave more or less narrow bands with the help of punched small tablets. These bands have been made since 800 BC. The bands are often used as edge trimming for clothes, belts or dog [...]
