#herjolfsnes

#fallforcostume day 16: trial and error. This is my eight panel #kirtle/Gothic fitted dress/#cotte based on #herjolfsnes 38. The fit has been a challenge all along (I mean, look at that sleeve). I’ve made all kinds of adjustments, and actually I’ve redone the sleeves and taken in the shoulders since I took this photo, and will be moving the front and back gores down and adding a few more inches of lacing and opening up the neckline. This dress has been one teachable moment after another, but hopefully I’ll be done soon! #14thcentury #greenland #medieval #scasocial #SCAatHome #mysca #historicalreenactment #historicalcostuming #livinghistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CGaWLEuHspP/?igshid=158lxtrpw5bkh

Historical sewing.

My next medieval costume is coming along nicely!

I missed #fallforcostume yesterday! The theme was details. I have loved all the hand finishing on this wool kirtle, my version of #herjolfsnes 38. It's almost done! #14thcentury #greenland #medieval #scasocial #SCAatHome #mysca #historicalreenactment #historicalcostuming #livinghistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CGP7Vo1nxMe/?igshid=pvo2wc7vog3q
