Viking outfit

[isabelladangelo]

I took this a couple of minutes ago and I'm dead tired so the photo is really terrible of me. Yes, I know I look like an American Indian girl dressed up in Viking...it's the braids...and DNA. This is how the Norse/Viking outfit came out. All and all, I don't think it looks too bad. There are a few things I'd do different (like use a tape measure every single time I cut the fabric) but it's definitely wearable and will probably become "Pennsic" garb in the future.
I love this linen. I originally had 22 yards of the blue linen and I'm down to three. I've had it for a while. I managed to get four dresses and a skirt out of it. The red/white linen is really neat stuff to work with. It's light weight and a fairly loose weave. (Not see-through loose but it was super easy to punch holes in for eyelets so I could clasp the "pin" on to the apron dress.)
The event was a lot of fun. I'll post more later on it but right now I'm really tired and everything sounds funny so I'm going to bed. Night!
