    Hi Elin Outstanding!!! I don't know if you are still viewing contents but I wanted to write something in case. I just found your site as I was looking for this particular information and ...as I type with tear-filled eyes...I wanted to thank you so much for your video. As a weaver I greatly appreciate and concur with @renaebettenhausen3611's comments. I have thought of working-class clothing a long time, and have fumbled through making a few pieces that were simple, saved as much fabric as possible, and managed with the handwoven fabric I had on hand, ripping and restitching again and again...and being a larger size means more fabric needed :). Of course, many times I have to wait months or years to finish something, but living simply that is just part of it :). I am a very very basic sewist and have no desire to make elaborate clothing, but very simple items that are respectful of all the hours and resources needed to make them. What you said about borrowing or ripping from a past item...I do that so often! I've been a bit embarassed to live like this and your video has given me a renewed joy and inspiration...rather than feeling embarassed...to rejoice that I can do this. thank you so much!

    I love watching your videos while I sew, even though living here in the states there’s not much of a medieval reenacting scene. I do 18th and 19th century sewing and re-enactments. But I’m planning on making a Tudor era working class kirtle soon and while your dress is a different century, the information you had on the 16th century here is giving me a great starting point! Love your videos and your immense talent, both in sewing and cinematography

    I enjoy seeing techniques used that I have not seen before. I had not seen the type of button making you did, nor the weaving. Very interesting and informative. The sides of the hood turned forward to block the face could be very practical working in the garden in summer and tending animals in winter. Where to put a hood on my very long list of projects I want to do...

    I simply cannot imagine how an average working woman of that time could stand wearing all those layers of clothes and still be able to hand wash laundry, cook, cut wheat, garden and just not sweat to death doing it all! Most working classes wore wool , even in summer! Linen and cotton was hardly utilized or affordable to them and only more so in later centuries. Truly a well done and presented video!

    I love, love, LOVE that you are focusing on the clothes of ordinary working people. So often we only hear about the wealthier classes (understandably, as those clothes took less wear and were therefore preserved better, and also they were more likely to be captured in paintings) its wonderful to see what our ancestors might have worn!

    For the safety purposes. Don't do it inside because of the fumes. You said it yourself and then did the whole video in the kitchen where your parents were moving around and filming without any masks. It is also toxic when it is hot and the fumes can still be around.

  • @asfandyarfarooqi7924
    @asfandyarfarooqi7924 2 місяці тому

    The color actually comes AFTER it is oxidised by the oxygen in the air. You cannot oxidise by getting more air in the water. The process in the water is reduction. It needs to be oxygen less. So let the cloth in the water for longer period of time. And let it air dry outside and not in the shower with closed windows. Also if you dye three clothes in the same dye the third one will be the least dyed because after every round the color pigments are less in quantity.

    I absolutely love the dress and the editing ☺️ beautiful photography! The only part I don't quite understand is how exactly you take in the side seams at the waist when the gores have already been sewn in. Wouldn't that mess it up and end in a weird dart kind of situation at the hips?

    Elin - I know its been a while since these videos, but I dont have social media and wanted to inform you that an Etsy shop called Deryapattern is using that photo of you in the full kirtle against the fence to sell a "Renaissance Medieval dress pattern." They have cropped off your face but I recognized it. I think they also photoshopped the bodice a bit. I hope you can get it taken down! Hope you are doing well! I always loved your videos, you are an extremely talented filmmaker!
