Hi! Thank you! I've heard this when it comes to the thread you use for sewing. If you go to the article on my blog, which I link to in this video, you can find the sources 🙂 I use my friend, Hilde Thunem, quite a bit as a source. I know she mentions linen straps on wool smokkr in her article "Smokkr". I, too, surround myself with high-quality reeactors, so research is important. Why else do we do this? 🤷🏼‍♀️🧡

@@tonjeshistoricallife Ok, excellent, thank you very much.👌🤗 I'll check her out. Have a great evening 🌞🍁🍂

Yes, it have been a "problem" for some years, but again, most garments and items found in most archaeological excavations are evidence from the richest in their society. Lately, more and more people, including myself, have been exploring the lower status humans of the Viking Age society. The reason why I chose to do a tutorial on the apron dress is because it is such a known piece of clothing, and there has been done so much research on this particular garment. Also, I think I'm entitled to wear a bit higher standard garments when I do my living history, as I am the chieftain of my group 😉

Thank you so much! I was hoping it would come out as relaxing and enjoyable 🙂 Well, the bells are probably not that historical accurate, but I've always had them there (for almost 12 years now) so it's hard to take them off 😅

Don't, it's your character after all =)

I'm not too familiar with the groups in the USA, I'm afraid. There are a few Facebook groups in which you can ask.

Takk for tipset. Har du noen grunner til at du syns jeg skal droppe den?

The reason I don't mention the width of my fabric is because it doesn't really matter that much. I'm doing it this way in my tutorial to give my apron dress width in the length. If you have a narrower fabric you could solve that with panels or gussets. Most fabrics that you can buy today are around 150 cm wide. If you have significantly less than that you just don't make the two panels at the same time, and still can achieve the fullness of the width. This I am also mentioning in my blog which follows this video: "So, how much fabric will you be needing? An easy way to measure this, is to measure out the total length you want for your dress and then double this number. Notice that this applies when you have wide fabrics, measuring 140-150 cm in width. If you have a fabric that is 70-80 cm in width, you need to multiply your number by four instead of two." Hope this clarifies your questions! 😃
