In the hood
I lost some momentum after having rocked the embellish challenge. I don't think I've ever finished a dress in two weeks before and I felt really proud. The next two challenges, peasant and accessories, were already written in the stars - the 15th c french working class dress and a matching hood I'd planned for ages. These two I had meant to hand sew, though.
This takes more time.
Go figure.
Having just finished them this weekend (more on them later), I was determined to get back on track, and instead of the viking apron dress I had planned for the sea challenge due this weekend, I decided to whip up a quick project in order to catch up and finish on time.
So I made a cute little viking midnight ocean blue Dublin hood from some wool scraps. By hand, but it only took 2 hrs to cut and sew.
The Challenge: Sea
Fabric: midnight ocean blue wool scraps
Pattern: from Dublin grave findings, just a square and tube ties
Year: 10th c
Notions: linen thread, wax
Historical accuracy: I curved the bottom line slightly, so 95%
Hours to complete: 2
First worn: not yet
Total cost: stash, so nill
