I will be attending my first Renaissance festival in November, at 80 years old, and am making my garb. I am a widow, and was thinking of making a wimple, fillet and veil. I will wear a cotton chemise, but the kirtle and surcoat, are linen. I will also have two mid thigh long capes, one linen and the other a loosely woven wool tweed. I have just finished cutting out my mock-ups , and will begin hand sewing soon. Thank you for all the information contained in your video. I just subscribed.
Waiting for some green linen to finish my dark green wool small-clothes. Already made some black wool small-clothes. second time will be more easy I think.
I work for a theater as a stitcher. Your video has been super helpful to me in the last couple weeks while I was working on a jacobean show! I've made 3 so far!
Pity to haven't you seen of late, excellent work and very educated! Started highland piping an reenactment in the 80'ies and studied history and archeology in the 90'ies, made my living for near 20 years as a self-employed piper (weddings, whisky tastings etc..) so I seem to "ken a wee bit" also after living a while in the highlands in the 90'ies (even more familiar with highlan' lore than some of the natives...😂) I immensely enjoy your videos, clannadh na gael!❤❤❤
Hi! I'm new to your channel (thank you weird algorithm) and, in a non-weird way, I would like to compliment your voice! I don't usually 'get it' without watching subtitles, but I was able to listen to you while oft looking down at my own craft project, and still understood the words, so.... yay us! *16th century version of high-5* The Scotch Tape, while in Scotland, made me LOL! (Is 'bonnet" an okay word to use?)
Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you. As far as I know, the word bonnet would be used to refer to a different garment during the Tudor period, rather than the coif!
I'm confused. One video you look like a girl, but sound like a guy, & in another, you looks like a guy, but sound like a girl. Are there 2 of you; twins perhaps?
„Against every instinct in my body and my soul, I left the edge unfinished“ ufff.. I could feel your pain 🥲 maybe a little piece of bias band to bind the endge and sooth the soul? 💖
You gotta practice with some voice lessons (there's free ones on youtube) to train your voice down, the T only gets you so far. Thank you for this great video dude
Scotch Tape is a North American brand name for the tape made by 3M. It has become a general term for that style of tape in North America, similar to how Kleenex now refers to all facial tissues now
I just finished mine! I do have long hair and this holds it nicely low on my head, and in fact, low enough to fit under a bike helmet. I’m probably going to end up using this more for cycling than for historical costuming :-D
