Nice little project, and a great scrap buster. I especially liked seeing your cyclas make a reappearance with period appropriate headgear. I do like genmaicha, and have some in my pantry, but right now I'm drinking rooibos as usual.
How nice to see Tornado making an appearance. Again a very good instruction on how to optimize your medieval kit. And Nysnö had me dancing around in my living room...
Ooooo, for some reason, that is one of the details that moves me right back in time. I wonder if any of those filets had ruffles that were cartridge pleated? Some of the images have that super regular look to them...
@@OpusElenae I wonder if it was one of those things where individuals over time and in different locations came up with a multitude of variations that included, well, just about anything. After all, there's always a little element of both wanting to fit in while at the same time wanting to stand out just enough.
Genmaicha is one of my hubby's fave teas. "Like the hands of the Von Trapp Family Singers" This comparison made my day. I now have Doe a Deer going through my brain. This is such a sweet head adornment. You do, indeed, look like a very fancy pastry took light upon your head. Thanks for the lovely video. Take care.
OK - it's noon right now, and my life will not be complete unless I have a "piecrust" fillet to wear to an event tomorrow. I have linen, thread and interfacing, and a full mug of coffee. Let's do this!
@@OpusElenae Yes!! Even though I only sew by hand (hate sewing machines!), I finished with time to spare. I wore it the next day and got lots of compliments.
It turned out beautifully! I would love to see your take on best washing and care practices for your historic clothing. I saw Abby cox made a video on how modern practices are stupid and I was curious on your thoughts. Much love from Florida. 🌴 🐊🍊
I’ll have to think about my own practices vs best practices. I tend to take a dim view of any broadly sweeping statement like “modern wash practices are dumb” because I feel like those statements can be a list and classist if we’re not really careful about our generalizations. Maybe I SHOULD make a video…
@@OpusElenae thank you so much for your response! This topic has me inspired to look at handwashing from homestead channels. I'm really curious how well their methods would work with historic garments from the eras you favor. Thank you again for the fun content. 🥰
Love the way they turned out. Have taken notes for gathering/ruffles and hidden seams for next time they are needed. buried under the quilt with a mug of normal tea as temps here have recently gone from mid 20's to mid teens during the day and down to single figures at night (deg C). Trying not to get belted by acorns, beech nuts or conkers every time i go out and failed😂
Hi Courtney, I just finished reading a great article in this month’s Scientific American about Viking women’s domination of the economy via control of weaving cloth. If you have a chance, I definitely recommend it to you.
What type of linen are using? I've only ever had luck pulling thread for cutting with high quality long staple Irish linen. Trying to pull threads on big box fabric store linen always breaks on me.

Amazing how long a fashion can last if it removes any double chin worries!
High time it was reintroduced. I need to make one. X
Eleanore of Aquitaine popularized the style for that very reason.

They came out so well!! A nice little project to get through the week.
And that intro with Tornado was so cute!
Your Tornado is so adorable. They're growing into such a wonderful person
A very charming project & a delightful Tornado cameo.
(Water, as usual)

I frickin love that song
I like that seam join from ruff making!
This is what Katherine Hepburn SHOULD have been wearing in The Lion in Winter.
CORRECT. But I’ll give such an amazing movie in all other ways a costuming pass.

It’s possible? Art from the time is so heavily stylized that it’s hard to tell what is accurate and what is creative liberty

It was the most effective way I could think of explaining it!
I always enjoy your choice of music!

How did it go? Did you finish it in time?
@@OpusElenae Yes!! Even though I only sew by hand (hate sewing machines!), I finished with time to spare. I wore it the next day and got lots of compliments.
Genmaicha is SO good, I really need to stock up on it again.
Also I'd never seen this technique for gathering but you can bet I'm taking notes 👀
Interesting head wear. I'm going to try your gathering method next time I need to ruffle something.
I love to have new uses for Aida cloth. I came by quite a lot of it. Also I love the gathering technique and can't wait to apply that knowledge.
enjoyed this very much.
I'm drinking a loose-leaf Assam from my local Indian produce store, and knitting a pair of stockings. Lovely video.
Mmmmm assam is a favorite here too!
This turned out so well!!
That's exactly how Bunty looks like in Disenchantment! 🥳

Jealous of your coziness!
Fabulous 🤩
I'm drinking Neptune Herbal Tea from Monarch Herbs Austin Texas yum.
Oooo that sounds interesting!

Oh thank you! I’ll definitely check it iut

Midweight linen from fabrics-store. The threads do break, but for small projects like this, it's not too bad.
@@OpusElenae Thank you.
What is ... Eide cloth? Ida cloth? I'm not quite sure what I am hearing you say, there. I don't think I have heard that term, before.
Aida Cloth, even weave commonly used in modern cross-stitch?
I think Aida cloth. It's a woven fabric often used for counted cross-stitch and it's fairly stiff.
@@lauravansteeter910 @charischannah Ah. Thank you! I have never done any kind of counted embroidery, before. This is good to know!
They beat me to it! You could also use hardanger cloth (another counted embroidery ground) or canvas. I like Aida because it stays a bit breathable.
