DIY Viking Costume & Accessories! 

You deserve far more views. Everything.If excellent.

Fab!! Loved the handsewn eyelets :) I was blown away that you have a 3D printer too! OMG, what's next? I just can not wait for the next idea and love the historical greek dress plan you are working on too. I do not know how you do it all. Oh, wait! You have sewing machines too. haha. I wish I had taken a course in videography or something while I was working on my degree so I could do some of the things you are doing. What a great video. You do such a great job editing it, and even showing that you make mistakes with your projects, and how you work around them when in a pinch. Thank you for that. Have a Happy Halloween

I very much enjoyed your video! A combination of the old ways and modern technology with the best cat assistant I've seen! 💕 Good call on the temporary dart in the back. Tfs

All the skills! Wow! I love your embroidery design! The brooch solution is very clever indeed! I love that you went to archeology camp. If you get tired of backstrap weaving you might enjoy trying an inkle loom for your belts, if you've not already. Elewys of Finchingfield has wonderful RU-vid tutorials on historic examples of wonderful designs. Your weaving work is just fabulous though! The whole thing is just gorgeous!

Such a relaxing ambiance and can totally relate to the last minute back darts solution working under a deadline leads to all sorts of fun work arounds. the costume turned out great by the way loved watching the process

Love it. The shots on this are great, and the music makes me miss ceilidh dancing!

this is an amazing video and tutorial. you have all the fun toys and i am very jealous! one day i will have an embroidery machine and a 3D printer as well! until then, know that this is my favorite apron dress tutorial i've seen so far!

This is my favorite tutorial by far. It looks so beautiful and such good quality

The word for the leather pokey thing is awl. Your viking outfit is great, and of course, I love your kitty assistants!

I love your videos. I love the garments you make and the material you use plus I love the settings where you make them and your backdrops. You do excellent work.

Oh my goodness, this is wonderful, and so is your accent! Could you please tell me where to find all this excellent music!?!?! Thanks in advance!!

Impressive, truly impressive. Very pleased to see that you have hit the1000 subs, you deserve youtube AdSense as you create the most wonderful videos, thank you :-)

A wonderful costume. Good work!

Stunning video!

I love your colours, and your effortless approach. You make it look do-able

I love your 'helpers' :) I am owned by 3 such 'helpers' lol :)

Very nice ! I make Russian dresses a jumper worn over a long tunic. I have done Slavic embroidery on my tunics and woven many belts. I ware the jumpers for every day ware with t-shirts blouses and turtleneck s .I love old style ethnic clothing and thoroughly enjoyed watching you make yours

A lovely cat and a lovely dress! Very well done ♥👗🐱

Beautiful film.

Very interesting to watch!

That's very beautiful! Do you sell your embroidery file?

Rachel Maksy? Hmmm small world. I just love her.. For this I will sub. Great video by the way, Very helpful. Thank you.

Magnificent.

Oooooh!! Didn't even thing about that, I'll definitely add pockets for my next dress!

Loved the embroidery piece will you ever sell the design and whats the make of the machine?

You made a wonderful outfit, with so much attention to detail! Lovely. Who is your kitty cohost?

Very pretty 😀

This is so very helpful & inspiring! How many metres did you use for the apron dress?

This was a great video, I really enjoyed it! Please, what is the wooden weaving tool called you used to weave your belt? I would like to get one for myself. Danke x

I was wondering if you could suggest which youtube videos you would recommend for belt weaving?

Your dress is beautiful

Love this. What fabrics did you use ?

Beautiful work dear. I never knew you could program your own pattern to embroider, or that there were such a thing as embroider programs. Amazing and smart. Blessings to you & yours. You are talented & will go very far with your skills but I know you know. Best wishes.

I like your helpers.

Making finnish coils while watching ❤

Do they have siccors At the time?. How do they cut?

Hello! What sewing machine do you use? I’ve been looking for an embroidery machine.

Rachel Maksy is my inspiration too 🤣

How was the dress in summer?

How do you do the metal accessories

What kind of fabric did you use for your kirtle?

How did you make the Cabochon that you found on the internet? Was it plastic? I know you said you painted it to make it less plastic looking and more shiny but I thought it was metal lol? You do fabulous work ❤

Without compputers and sewing machine, can i do similar? This all diy looks like Pro work

❤

Loved your video! Would you consider making and selling the pattern? 🙏🏻🌞✨

Hello Goodnight. Do you offer the dress and embroidery patterns?

what kind of material is that? cotton?

8:30 What's the name of that song? It's extremely catchy

Oh yes this is beautiful but PLEASE tell us the cat's names! They're adorable.

THANK YOU for not calling this cosplay! I hate that word... What you are making is no cosplay but a costume, or rather clothes...which at one time would have been worn by real women of a different era...

You are very talented. What skill and care you take in the design and creation of this costume. But it is a costume, so don't worry about the back dart not being historical, the side lace ups are not historical either. The dress is supposed to be loose, not fitted. The belt is there to cinch the dress. And DIY is a bit misleading in the title of the video. It's DIY if you have $10K worth of equipment at home, which most of us don't.

This is not historically accurate at all. Norse women wouldn't have worn this during the Viking Era. They would have worn a Rectangular Construction Serk (what you're calling a kirtle) and a Smokkr (apron dress) that would be sewn down the sides with gores. The serk definitely wouldn't have had pockets or been form fitting. You did finish your seams the way they would have done in period. To get even more accurate your turtle brooches should be oval, not round, your beads would be glass, the serk would also be made of wool, and you'd be wearing a light weight linen serk as a base layer under the woolen one. The belt is most accurate, however, it would have been woven using cards, not a heddle. And there is no historical evidence of embroidery on smokkrs, however, there is evidence of card woven trim at the top edge of the smokkr. The Norse embroidered very little clothing, most of which is assumed to be ecclesial garments. My sources? Years of historical reenactment making my own serks and smokkrs based on historical grave finds and written accounts by those who encountered the Norse when they went Viking (which is a job title, not a people).

It’s a pity that this video is more like a commercial for different sewing machines than a DIY for making a viking dress/costume. Few viewers have the equipment used in the video so you kind of lose interest in it therefore.
