I am not the same crafter who started this cape project a year ago. I wove and reproduced a Viking age textile, improved my sewing techniques and created a cape to wear and keep warm all winter! Let's talk about the things I learned in the process.

Also, women's role in history has been ignored for so many reasons. Male historian with a male bias, lack of preservation of female accouterments, and others. It's such a shame that half of the culture has been largely ignored.

@JillianEve Год назад

The article talked about the piles of textiles pieces that are sitting in various museum storage that were never proper analyzed. 😞

@cor3944 8 месяцев назад

It is not only ignored but also downgraded, devalued and finally alienated. Female handcraft was an important source of income. Modern fashion is a slap in the face.

@julieannmatthews3639 Год назад

One of my grandmothers was a tailoress, the other was a trained milliner. They both could turn their hands to any craft. Those genes got passed onto me. The tailoress' son was my Dad who had absorbed the "how to" by watching his Mum. He taught me how to knit and how to finish a garment. He was often the model for garments she made as he had a slight figure as a kid and a teenager. Although , if he was employed as a " model" he insisted that it be done in a locked room. After all it was in the 1920's & 30's. He was also often employed ironing the seams prior to machining the facings and linings to the seams. Every time I got my sewing machine out he would set up the iron also. Quote he " the iron is what makes a garment look professional ".

@JillianEve Год назад

Absolutely! 😊🧶✨

@LadyValkyri Год назад

I love that you can see the inner lining ever-so-slightly... it leads one to think, "Oh! There's a surprise inside there! I wonder what it is...?" and then you get the satisfaction of seeing those big, bold, beautiful flowers on the inside fabric. Really lovely! Does it look like a lot of stopping and starting to put the locks in? Oh, heck yeah! Was it worth it? You bet! It's absolutely freeeeeking awesome! YAY you, Evie! Hugs

@Laurpud Год назад

I'm surprised that the instructions didn't have you top stitch along the edges. It's definitely not too late to fix/finish that edge so the inside stays in! It's stunning, & it should make you as happy as it does us edited for spelling

@queennehelania836 Год назад

Ugh, PLEASE ramble more about textile history and techniques!!! I would watch a whole video watching you talk about women's work throughout history and how people adjusted techniques for their circumstances.

@tamesonob Год назад

Right on Evie, Woman's work was always valuable, but de-valued.

@catrionahenderson7759 Год назад

What a sweet face you have. I love it that you have made THIS CAPE. I enjoyed watching you weave your collar. Thank you for sharing with us all.

@kathyfaulk710 Год назад

I had the pleasure of going to the Viking museum in Oslo a few years ago. I got to see sails close up and lots of other wonderful artifacts. I'm always interested in the cloth made no matter what museum. I'm pre-ordering the book. Thanks so much for this video!!! I love the history and the detail on construction/weaving!

@JillianEve Год назад

I would love to visit Oslo some day... 😊🧶✨

@woochles Год назад

Edgestitching would help the edges. I helps it roll to the inside.

@lovelysheep9333 Год назад

Press with heat.

@liza5532 Год назад

Not too late. Make an Inkle band to hide your front lining. Either inside or out as a braid. If it shows, it might look like piping. Your collar is beautiful!

@CheapEngineerCrafts Год назад

Topstitching the edges can keep the lining tucked inside. Or careful hand tacking of the lining to the outer fabric will do the same thing if you don’t want the stitching to show.

@JillianEve Год назад

Great tip! I might go back and add some tablet woven trim and solve the problem that way. We'll see... 😊🧶✨

@CheapEngineerCrafts Год назад

@@JillianEve oooooo, tablet trim! Be sure to show us!

@bethkolle1 Год назад

For a future project, trim just 1/8” off the seam allowance on the lining. Then match the edges, right sides together, and sew the seams. The outer fabric will wrap around the lining fabric just a bit along those edges.

@univfinutdervbjiol3731 Месяц назад

That 's what I do too and the lining, being just a teensy bit smaller, stays to the inside

@melanie_meanders 2 месяца назад

yes yes yes!!! im learning about 10th-12th century viking clothing for historical reenactment! why am i not surprised one of your vids came up?! this is so awesome evie, thank you!!!!

@gemmaf_ Год назад

I know it's taken you a while to complete, but I kind of love that. The opposite of fast fashion!!

@DocBree13 6 месяцев назад

I like being able to see the lining even more than if the seams were “cleaner.” I love the cape, and I’m so very impressed!

@AnneluvsKatz Год назад

That is stunning. I would LOVE to have a shawl like that!!!!!

@eqrain21 Год назад

I think this would work really great for one of those fur pillows. I really love them because they are soft and sheepy and having a real one that isn't a skin or faux fur would be really awesome. I'll have to work toward trying this technique. I've put off trying tapestry because it is fiddly and I see that this is too but the results would be worth a try at least one time. In fact, I have a whole bag full of different natural colored mohair that might be perfect for something like this. Thanks for sharing this journey!

@xxjuiciixx 2 месяца назад

@SusieQ3 Год назад

Ok, that cape is amazing! And that collar 😍 spectacular! It looks so petable. I think it's an amazing concept. It's a shame how much of the women's work in society has been lost to both history and the modern manufacturing process, so thank you for your part in spreading the knowledge. I've worked with faux fur exactly 1 time. I made a black and white quilt for my brother and backed it with faux fur (then tie quilted it for those wondering). That was over 4 years ago and I'm still finding tufts of the stuff in random corners. It's the worst!

@cuttwice3905 Год назад

Most furs were worn on the inside of garments unless they were for show. Inside fur is much warmer than outside. Outside fur was always lined to reduce chafin\g. An example of fur for show can be found on small portrait $100 bills. Ben Franklin was wearing a standard jacket for his class back then, the back of his lapel was fur so he could fold it up to keep his neck warm in the cold. They took the fur off of Franklin's coat in the large portraits because it offended the sensibilities of people who think the past should be like the present.

@ginalou5774 Год назад

If the front seams bother you could bind it with the same fabric as the top or a contrasting colour. That would solve the issue and could look lovely.

@bonnie5601 Год назад

You look so elegant in it p. CONGRATULATIONS

@fantacylover456 Год назад

It looks wonderful!! I am also a lover of the history of everyday people so I totally get your obsession with it lol. My senior paper in college was about Roman tombstones and burial practices and the tombstones I used were from our college collection and they spanned time and people from all walks of life. I agree that we get a little wrapped up in learning about war and warriors and famous people that we forget about the people who were also existing in that same time just living life

@jenniferbrighty5120 Год назад

Hi Evie, I hope you're OK xx ❣️ WOW, to wait a year to see the finished Cape...well worth the wait !!! Its Stunning, Amazing and Beautiful You look Amazing wearing it. I think the Vikings would be rather jealous I like the idea of being able to remove the collar, it makes a lot easier to clean the Cape itself. Hope Mark takes you somewhere special so you can show it off. 💕💕 Happy Spinning Fibre Friend 🐑🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and Big Hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️🫂🫂🎆🎆🐑🌷

Thank you Jen! Yes, I think the cape will be much easier to care for with the removable collar. I'm glad I took that route. 😊🧶✨

@onepurpleostrich Год назад

If you don't want to unpick the lining, you could encase the whole edge in tape made from the outer fabric. (Around neck you would need to copy the shape of the neck opening - like a facing, since straight tape won't go around such curve) It would change the look of cape, but only slightly. By the way, I LOVE the collar!

@1st1anarkissed Год назад

Hearing you complain about the fussiness of tying in locks made me laugh because I finished two 14"x 36" Turkish knot rugs on my RHL. I plan to make another this winter. It's a fabulous use of thrums.

@JillianEve Год назад

I respect the amount of work you did for those rugs! Fantastic! 😊🧶✨

@sharonsymonds2460 Год назад

I would topstitch around the edges after pressing. Ideally you would stitch the seam allowance to the lining before closing up the cape

@JillianEve Год назад

I stitched the lining to the allowances and I used interfacing. I think the problem is that the velveteen is not stretchy at all, but the plain weave of the lining is, so it pulls out just a bit. I might make a tablet woven trim to add later. We'll see... 😊🧶✨

@LeoFieTv Год назад

Maybe some topstitching would help the front edges stay nicely. You could do it by hand, would be nice touch

@melissa_pup Год назад

Beautiful pieces! Congrats!

@rayd2470 Год назад

I LOVED hearing all of your Deep Thoughts about the different ways we can build relationships to history! It's awesome to see you sharing the depth of meaning in these life skills that we're often encouraged to marginalize. And what a gorgeous majestic cape!

@ruththinkingoutside.707 Месяц назад

7:31 .. I don’t know if it’s been mentioned already.. but as someone who has erratic quality in my sewing over the decades 🤦‍♀️😅lol .. the thing about seams like yours, is a nice bit of trim can be added to edge both sides of the join, so the lining doesn’t peep thru.. and as someone who absolutely DESTROYS clothing being a handywoman, gardener, dog owner and woodsy type.. durable trim is a lifesaver 😅 .. because certain points on clothing literally disintegrates before the rest.. some trim that will handle the extra wear stress and possible dirt is just wonderful.. lol

@michellecornum5856 Год назад

Viking fake fur, LOVE IT!

@nguyenhakieunhung3242 Год назад

Please please give us update about the faux-fur woven collar! I would love to know how you care (wash and clean) for such a piece of unique textile like that. It's so gorgeous! Your cape is very beautiful too. Don't worry too much about the lining showing tiny bit, it's like a nice surprise on the inside of the cape!

@apippin774 Год назад

To prevent the lining from showing you can top stitch along the edge pulling the inner lining slightly back so that when you top stitch you only see the top. It’s an easy fix. The top stitching can be done very close to the edge. Or you can top stitch along the edge a ribbon edging of your own choice and that will make it even more elegant

@JillianEve Год назад

I might tablet weave some trim to take care of it. I think that would look really awesome! 😊🧶✨

@sherrieanderson2524 Год назад

In the Viking age it was the women who owned the land. Women only who could divorce. Men were off trading, yes trading more than pillaging! Check out the Viking Age Club and Society, Sons of Norway. There are a few who could give you more history of the Vikings.

@lauratittensor2691 Год назад

You could weave a coloured band to sew on and cover the lining that shows at the edges

@JillianEve Год назад

I'm think about doing that! 😊🧶✨

@DonnaScarpa Год назад

I was delighted to see this episode! It gave me hope that there was a way to work locks without felting techniques that are just too hard on my old hands. Thank you!

@MarblesFromSpace Год назад

Have you tried looking into understitching? It'll really help that edge, and it can possibly be done in the current state!

@jocelynsmyth6604 Год назад

Oh, my ocd cannot handle random - I love the result of it, but I can't do it myself. I know for sure I would have been that bananas person using a multi colored twill to do this, placing them in a regimented pattern, and getting mad at it. Knowing yourself, and learning about yourself, is important :) the project turned out beautiful!

@lindaholmes1920 Год назад

What luscious locks! They could probably have numerous applications; cushion covers, faux sheepskin rugs, throws, as well as garments.

@JillianEve Год назад

Definitely! 😊🧶✨

@amandaleighbump2161 Год назад

When you mentioned that Viking women wove the sails of those famous Viking ships, I remembered that Tolkien explicitly states in the Silmarillion that Elven women wove the sails of the famous white ships of the Teleri. Also (even better!), the Elven princess Luthien weaves an enchanted sleep-inducing cloak from her own hair that she uses to escape from prison and confront the Dark Lord Morgoth. Maybe we need more women weaving fantasy and less shield maiden fantasy?

@stephenrobb8759 7 месяцев назад

A gorgeous fabic from those locks ! I have a larger table loom, set on top of a large tool cabinet (4ft long) I would not use the cloth beam at all to weave this type of fabric. I would just use a heavy weighted stick left hanging from the breast beam.

@schuyler6583 Год назад

First, this looks fabulous and I love the fur collar. The texture is incredible. Second, I can very much relate to the "this looks a dream but I cannot stand the process to create it". I don't weave, but it certainly comes up in some embroidery projects or painting techniques for me.

@4kids3cats85 Год назад

I do a fair amount of Viking clothing for reenactment, though I’ve not been anywhere close to handwoven cloth - Usually, I’m working in linen. The collar on this is magnificent! The iron is your friend on the edges here. Iron it so that the liner is hidden. Use the steamer function, but go gently so that you don’t shrink anything. If that doesn’t work, using a stiffener/binder on the inside, a small piece of fusible buckram on the edge will solve this problem.

@JillianEve Год назад

Great tip, thanks! 😊🧶✨

I'd swear women learned to weave sails just to get rid of their men for a few months so they could get their work done without the extra hassles of the guys' demands on their time. I LOVE 💕 collar!! Gonna try that next time I need a fur something. It's gotta be easier to deal with than rabbit hide. Won't rip or tear as easy as leather, either, so it's already better.

@Alisha_79 Год назад

I absolutely love your view on trades, tricks, etc, getting lost over the years! I am getting into history bounding and hoping to go full time by end of 2024, with everything except shoes and fabrics made by me. I know cotton is controversial, definitely looking into alternatives to wool for making some of my own fabrics for things. My sister and I are super close, she's highly allergic to wool. So I went wool free for her.

@JaneConnorEmbellisher Год назад

Another reason to make the collar detachable is when cleaning the cape, if you have it fry cleaned you don’t have to worry about them messing up the collar.

@michellemckinney1513 Год назад

Beautiful!!!! Depending on how long your cloth would be, I think that a larger Mirrex or Schacht Arras Tapestry loom would probably work better bc of the way that the warp advances. I don’t know how to describe it in just a couple sentences. Best to just check out a couple videos. Rebecca Mezoff has several great videos on how the different tapestry looms work. She’s a professional tapestry weaver/ teacher 😉

@JillianEve Год назад

Oh yes, she has wonderful content! 😊🧶✨

@loganpollock1689 10 месяцев назад

The L'Anse du Meadow site in NewFoundland was definitely proven to be Viking because of stone spindle whorls found there, so textiles were important in the Norse culture.

@dawanariley4183 Год назад

It came out awesome. I remember when you started it. The collar turned out wonderful. My question is Well, not trying to be a butt felting a fleece for a collar would have been easier I don’t know how Viking did collars like that. Love Viking history.

@JillianEve Год назад

There are examples of collars and trims using the technique I demonstrated here. There was one discovered in Denmark in particular that was dyed pink. I don't know of any examples that used the felted backing. That doesn't mean they didn't, but if they did, it didn't survive. 😊🧶✨

@lisayeager1084 Год назад

This is a truly beautiful piece, and I do hope you wear and love it. But if you find that having the lining visible at the front edge does bother you, you can try offsetting the the seam and topstitching the new placement as a way to hide it a bit more.
