The new peasant outfit is finished

[frualeydis]

I want to make a new lacing cord for the kirtle, right now it's laced with black 5mm cotton tape, but that's it.






I will try to work on the web site during the weekend, so that I can upload the page on Monday or so.

Okay, now I *need* a little wool cap like that. Is it the same pattern as the coif, or did you draft your own (if you don't mind me asking)?

I used the coif pattern but omitted the neadband, adding 2 cm to the brim in the back instead, where teh headband should be. I also made the round piece slghtly smaller so that it wasn't almost gathered at all. My documentation for this cap is however very small: one glass painting from c. 1600; from the rather far-away country of Sweden.

Good thing my persona's brother is a merchant, then ;) I will confess, though, now that the temperature has finally dropped, I just need something warm that doesn't look grossly inappropriate (love the knitted Monmouth cap, but it looks very odd with middle-class women's wear) to keep my head warm.
