[Ek_fiber] RE: A Story: Wool & Linen at Pennsic

[jh_grace at comcast.net]

30 something.

I bought linen for undertunics today. I'm right on schedule. I only need to make 3 under tunics for me, 4 for my son and a couple more over tunics for myself. 

Of course it'll all be hand-sewn. .... NOT!!!  Hand finished, almost certainly and any visible stitching will be done by hand but I am not going to sew seams by hand this year. Another year, when I'm using my hand spun hand woven cloth then I'll go for the 100% authenticity (and spin the sewing thread too) .

At least an 11th century Saxon and similar period Viking (that's m'boy!) are easy to clothe.
