Re-visiting Dala Järna
Nine years ago I stated my intention to make a dress found on a Swedish early 16th century sculpture from Dala-Järna. Well, it did take a while, but now I have actually started. Nine years may be a too long hiatus, but as I have since then researched Swedish 16th cnetury dress much more thoroughly, and even written an article in "Costume" about it, I am much better prepared to make it now. I have studied mroe apainting, formed new theories and made up my mind about some things that needed to be decided.
I am doing this as my project in the Manuscript challenge on facebook and the plan is to finish it so that I can wear it to the local SCA event St.Egon's feast the first weekend in March. I have unfortunately already encountered som trouble, since my hands started aching badly after only a couple of hours of hand sewing, but maybe it gets better.
Proof. It is hand woven linen twill (an old sheet) and wool twill.
