It's been a while since I have taken any pictures of myself, even though I wear viking clothing a lot more these days, so i thought I would post this throwback to 2022.
I no longer own that orange dress as i sold it to a friend who uses it a lot ❤️

Second attempt at #sourdough bread! Hopefully it's less dense than the last one (And at least the design looks good)

The first 50% of my #varafell is done! I will weave one more like it and sew them together for the propper proportions

My first attempt at #sourdough bread, obviously I didn't cut the design on top deep enough and they seem a bit dense but I'm still happy!

My #bronzeage obsession continues. This time clothes pins/hair pins, no one seem to be completely sure which the big ones are (all bases on pictures from norwegian finds) #reenactment #historicalfashion

I have been toying with the thought of making a bronzeage look, so instead of throwing myself into a new period I made a wearable mockup in a fabric i have hoarded for 8 something years. Only problem is now i really wanna make a bronzeage outfit.

This is currently my absolute favourite vikingage dress. It is dyed with madder by me at a viking market and hand sewn by me. Viking reenactment has been pretty important in my realisation that I suit colours and that I really like reds and oranges.

The past was colourful!
Today i have been sorting my #plantdyed yarn and made yarn cakes of some of the hanks,so I have at least one cake of all the colours I have, though some hanks are still in hank form, in case I want to overdye them.
(And please store your wool yarn in airtight boxes or bags!)

Its alive!
I'm a few years late to the sourdough party but 3 days ago I decided to make a starter, look at her! She hasn't gotten a name yet (the recepie says to name it on day 9) but hopefully she will give some good bread
(Currently need recipes to use the discharge dough)

Working on a commission today, made using what I call theatre seams. That means any long seems are done by machine but they are felled by hand to give an authentic look while keeping cost down for the customer. (I also do handsewn commissions ofcourse)

While I mostly do viking and medieval reenactment today, I actually started out with 18th and 19th century costuming. So here is a throwback to one of my #victorian looks

I dyed with hollyhock yesterday and since I know it's not very lightfast I made a small wrap test, this will stay in the window for a while until I feel like the colour has changed and then i will check if it has.

As an instagram refugee, I never used twitter/x so I dont know how much I will use this, but I will try to repost some of my old stuff from over there
This one was taken during a silent moment at work this summer. The dress i plant dyed, and I like to use it to show how colourful the past was.
