Awhile back I found a web page that had instructions for making hairnets. I mean by netting them (Like you would a fish net) not by crocheting. Now, of...
I managed to make Jacob a Polish zupan to wear to Birka. The man from the Polish Hussar Supply booth was very complimentary. Since I did not have a pattern I...
I bought one at Birka. Anyone know how to use it? I'm going to try to figure it out myself from internet instructions, so we'll see how it goes! Sara...
I think I posted the link to making the snood on the link list (on this listserv) - I'll double check. Bring your lucet to dance practice and I'll show you if...

Greetings Mathius (Ulf), The pictures look great; Heidi looks good in the dress, etc. Your Viking garb is inspiring me to finish mine... I hope to work on our...
Hi, I've been trying to research what to wear to an SCA event for belly dancing. These two things seem to be mutually exclusive garb-wise. I've read that...
Lebanese belly dance. I think it would be period for that culture - but I have no references to back up that thought. What about courtesans from that area of...
Ello, I have a linen tunic for myself and I will be making Heidi a linen surcoat to go with the cream undergarment she is wearing in the photo. Mathius...
Sounds great. I found one layer extremely hot last year at GNEW, it was so humid. What did you make your tunic out of - the one in the picture? From the...
