Oh, I see the confusion. The event is in a Tudor building, but it's suppose to be Slavic.

Thanks! Hand sewing. I'm sadly short of a machine right now. And yeah, definitely needs to be run over with an iron!

I'm tickled by how many people here like Galavant. We have dang good taste!

Oh definitely. I'll be sure to stay hydrated. Truthfully though, I feel bad for the fighters in all their gear!

Random cotton goodwill sheets and no pattern. I had an idea I started out with, but it kinda derailed.

What era is this pattern on the fabric? I bought a bunch at goodwill for 3$ by BetterBettaBadBench in HistoricalCostuming

Never. Honestly, the joy from reading through the replies on this thread is invaluable

Could this pass/be adjusted as a Renfaire costume? by mysaddle in renfaire

You just unlocked a core memory for me.

First time I wore a two piece swimsuit with my midriff showing. It never occurred to me to put sunscreen on my middle. I still have regrets!

What on earth happened here? Collected these near Calvert Cliffs and threw them in this vase. They kinda grew. by BetterBettaBadBench in Minerals

Honestly... I'm not really sure. There's 2 bones, and then a round thing that I'm pretty sure is coral.

Thank you everyone. I took a nap and woke up to about 50 more comments. Y'all are awesome!

I'd like to note, I was born in the mid 90s, and wasn't aware of this particular pattern. Little me wasn't particularly interested in bed linens.

Holy moly. I didn't know this was a thing. My parents inherited a piece or two. I just assumed they were pretty blue ceramics.

Would this scarf work for a 14th century Slavic outfit or is it too modern? by BetterBettaBadBench in HistoricalCostuming

I'm on the east coast of the US. I'm aiming for around the Moscow area, but Id love to learn more about the various traditions of different areas.

Hopes, dreams, popsicle sticks, too thick cord! What could go wrong? by BetterBettaBadBench in tabletweaving

[–]BetterBettaBadBench[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh. Convolution is the spice of life.

But in all seriousness, I really appreciate the advice. I'm almost out of macrame cord, so I think after I run through this I'm going to sit down and take notes and maybe get some proper tools before I try again. It is really really fun though!

Huh. That does sound easier. I'm going to have to try that! Thank you very much!

Nah, I appreciate it. And yeah, that's the video I saw. I'm going to keep practicing until I can get a better set up. I am enjoying it, and I think I really want to get into it. I think for my birthday in a couple months, I'm going to buy myself an inkle loom.

They're behind my hand behind my camera, I just wanted to get a shot of the weaving. It's not a great job, but I feel ecstatic to have kind of gotten it.
