Sinister Sewist
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 30 ธ.ค. 2020
I am Rachel Case, also known as Agatha Iris in the Society for Creative Anachronism, and a self-taught historical textiles reconstructionist and researcher.
I have always been interested in sewing and creating, and became interested in historical sewing through my SCA hobby.
As a left-hander, I found a need for tutorials and content for left-handed sewists looking to learn historical sewing techniques.
I specialize in historical undergarments, particularly the Lengberg finds, which includes the first bust support featuring cups for the breasts. Since 2015, I have been working as part of a team of historical textiles researchers to reconstruct the clothing of Lengberg. As part of that team, I presented a paper, "The Lengberg Find: Remnants of the Lost 15th Century Tailoring Revolution" at the Northern European Symposium for Archaeological Textiles (NESAT) XIII in Liberec, Czech Republic.
Our continuing project includes a book project on the clothing of Lengberg Castle.

Beautiful headwear ❣️
So cool, thank you!
Was this for religious use? Like the Amish and Mennonites wear caps. Or is this for keeping the hair clean from smoke and dirt? It there are big holes in the sprang, wouldn’t that allow dirt to get through?
It had more practical aspects. Kept the hair out of the way. You would not want to cook over open fire with your long strands hanging over, light a candle or work in fields with dust and dirt flying around. It kept the hair tidy and untangled, the head warm, looked fashionable and told others your status in society. Married women had to wear a Haube. So everybody knew this sister is married, hands off. That aside, men also were wearing these kind of head gears. In religious context, when in church women had to cover their hair. In some catholic regions they still do this until today with a lacy scarf. I remember very well that women always used to wear a piece of cloth (turban style) doing their house work, cleaning, cooking, doing laundry and such combined with an apron... my grandmother for example.
Thank you for information)))) th-cam.com/video/b7sAVSaM5_I/w-d-xo.html
okay a few questions: Stola vs Tunica? you are calling this a stola? something that should be worn over a tunica? And how did you do the seam on your front and back seams? :)
I love your combination thread spools/needle holders!!!! do you remember which website you got them from?I need a couple!
ooh so cute! I love the color also
That's cute! I now have to use one from my stash!
Enjoyed this and the music 🎶
Thank you so much for showing all the close-up details. I haven’t ventured into lace patterns yet, but I’m making a first try at this headgear with a panel of simple interlinking sprang I just finished in sage green and cream stripes (I’m still a beginner, so I’m using colours to help me keep my threads in order!), and a cream/green leafy quilting cotton, so I can wander out in secret medieval garb and keep my scalp from getting sunburned!
👏👏
Thank you for sharing your research! I don’t need to learn any more crafts, but now I want to learn sprang just to make one of these headwear.
Love your podcasts..how interesting..hope you make more..
I find it really hard to hear your posts.
How wonderful! Thank you for sharing your research!
I love it

Your bone awl is actually a Nålbinding needle!
That is interesting-it was sold as an awl and works perfectly for that purpose!
What pattern did you use for this skirted bra?
It's my own self-drafted pattern. :)
I have never heard of a " linen slick" and where can I get one?
I got mine from Historical Glassworks. They're on Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/921506409/viking-glass-blown-glass-linen-smoother?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=glass+smoothing+stone&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&organic_search_click=1
@@sinistersewist1448 Thank You!!! what a handy tool!
Running inside the fold is genius! I had just been letting the thread float...
Thank you for these videos!!!
Thanks for showing the slick. I have one but had no idea how to use it
I've made several apron dresses by turning and sewing down my seam allowances and whipping the seams together -- you don't have to limit yourself to small things!
Yes!! Some earlier garments have been constructed this way. I did think of including that.
I realize I repeated how much I love vertical stitches like a MILLION times! Sorry everyone!
Thank you so much for taking time out and sharing your knowledge it’s hard to find left handed how to videos....hugs
I love the bloopers!! So cute! This is a great introductory how-to for new stitchers. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
I also like to mark the stitch line with a disappearing pen or with chalk, because otherwise my stitches will wander. :-) I sometimes run my thumbnail along the stitches as well, because I find they have a tendency to gather. (I might be pulling a mite too firmly.)
Great pointers!
Throwin out some support for ya! Good video!~
I love your linen sewing pouch!! That's a fantastic site token!!!
Love the site token!! So happy to see it well loved!
Looks great! I need some of that stuff! Of course I have a lot of the same sewing implements just spread out over several baskets. I probably should collect it all into the same kit. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yay! Looks really nice!
