Bliaut pictures

[frualeydis]

I haven't had the time to update my web page yet, but here are pictures of my yellow bliaut and an older bliaut from red and yellow herringbone twill. It was the first time I wore it even if I made it last winter. Both of them have extra long neck openings to facilitate nursing. The neck opening on the red/yellow bliaut actually is a straight slit, but my breasts make it look funny because they push the fabric apart.

Both bliauts are gorgeous! I love the herringbone twill fabric especially. Maja is so cute! :)

Thanks!
I think the checked one will look better with a more "normal" neck slit so I will sew it closed after I've stopped breastfeeding in a year or so.
But I'm getting really excited about 12th century again so I might start on my green silk bliaut any day now.

Ahhh, very nice! I can't decide which one I like better.

Both of those bliauts are beautiful!

And the baby is cute too.
