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!

Thanks! I actually got a bit of embroidery done and managed not to throw food at feast....although I was tempted. (A couple of years ago, food fight broke out at a feast I went to because the food was simply not edible. The food was edible at this one for the most part except the pancakes. I seriously wanted to make those into flying saucers but I was good!)

Heheh! It sure sounds like your events are much more fun than ours. At least you guys have found a way to make the most of bad feast!!! ;D
