Hey Elin. «Dyed with madder» I am Norwegian, but I can’t seem to translate madder into Norwegian. Are you by any chance swedish (due to your last name)and can translate for me?😊

I enjoyed this so much!

Question, would cotton be a good option? I overheat quite easily in certain fabrics, so I don’t know what to choose fabric wise to avoid it.

Floofy cat! I want to cuddle with them.

Var i Stockholm ligger tygbutiken som du besöker i videon? :)

New to your channel and now I will binge watch, beautiful skirt, girl and scenery ❤❤❤

Oh my this reminds of a book im reading right now! same year too! ❤

I am new to your channel but i love your work! ❤

Hello... I hope you be really well and I wish you return here... best wishes... 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏💯👍

I enjoy seeing techniques used that I have not seen before. I had not seen the type of button making you did, nor the weaving. Very interesting and informative. The sides of the hood turned forward to block the face could be very practical working in the garden in summer and tending animals in winter. Where to put a hood on my very long list of projects I want to do...

I simply cannot imagine how an average working woman of that time could stand wearing all those layers of clothes and still be able to hand wash laundry, cook, cut wheat, garden and just not sweat to death doing it all! Most working classes wore wool , even in summer! Linen and cotton was hardly utilized or affordable to them and only more so in later centuries. Truly a well done and presented video!

I like the outfit on you

I just started making my first tunic… and have had to rip out all the seams because I didn’t measure properly, nor did I add enough width for seam allowance or ease… I measured at the shoulder, and not the bust… won’t make that mistake again! ❤ listening to you while I rework the stitching has been wonderful

Thanks. It was very interesting but you need to brush up on your spelling and grammar and sometimes the writing wasn't very clear with a pale background

I love, love, LOVE that you are focusing on the clothes of ordinary working people. So often we only hear about the wealthier classes (understandably, as those clothes took less wear and were therefore preserved better, and also they were more likely to be captured in paintings) its wonderful to see what our ancestors might have worn!

For the safety purposes. Don't do it inside because of the fumes. You said it yourself and then did the whole video in the kitchen where your parents were moving around and filming without any masks. It is also toxic when it is hot and the fumes can still be around.

The color actually comes AFTER it is oxidised by the oxygen in the air. You cannot oxidise by getting more air in the water. The process in the water is reduction. It needs to be oxygen less. So let the cloth in the water for longer period of time. And let it air dry outside and not in the shower with closed windows. Also if you dye three clothes in the same dye the third one will be the least dyed because after every round the color pigments are less in quantity.

I'm homesick for this life I've never known in a place I've never been.

I hope you will make new videos and tutorials on how to sew historical clothes) I really like it.

This video was so unexpectedly funny and tense.

I absolutely love the dress and the editing ☺️ beautiful photography! The only part I don't quite understand is how exactly you take in the side seams at the waist when the gores have already been sewn in. Wouldn't that mess it up and end in a weird dart kind of situation at the hips?

Elin - I know its been a while since these videos, but I dont have social media and wanted to inform you that an Etsy shop called Deryapattern is using that photo of you in the full kirtle against the fence to sell a "Renaissance Medieval dress pattern." They have cropped off your face but I recognized it. I think they also photoshopped the bodice a bit. I hope you can get it taken down! Hope you are doing well! I always loved your videos, you are an extremely talented filmmaker!

I think the blue obtained is very pretty.

How do you get your triangles to be actual triangles and not lumpy, hunchbacked, sort-of-triangles?

Wow, this video captured and truly inspired me to start my own garment making adventure! 🎉

" SHELL'S CLAMS AND COCKLES " !! " SHELLFISH CLAMS AND COCKLES " !!🤗😅

Great video!!!❤

You made a lovely job of your outfit, you are so easy to watch and listen to

I love the different stitches you used. It turned out lovely

I love your resourcefulness and envy your access to linen, which we don't have a lot of here in North America. I had a linen suit when I was a young woman I kept for job interviews. I loved it.

I've never dyed with woad but I have seen a woman preparing the leaves in a deferent manner into little balls like to sell them for market in a medieval way . but its been a long time since I've seen it and unfortunately I cant find it here on CZcams

piecing is period ! it looks well done ! don't forget some braes for your underwear bottoms !

What book were you using and how did you fit the bodice part to your bosom to hold it up ?!

how did you get it to hold your bosom and not wear a bra with it ? I tried making one but it doesn't keep my chest up 😭...

This was a joy to watch. Your videography is beautiful and your explanation of how to make the kirtle was fabulous for a beginner like me. Thank you.

hello, when will there be something new again?

hello, when will there be something new again?

I appreciate you sharing your trials along the way and what you learned through the process. I hope to make this one day as well, so I can glean from your experience. Thank you.

Excellent video. Great clear teaching. Humor...chicken in the house...hilarious! ...and beautiful filming. You seem very down to earth and simple lifestyle. I, too, often hand sew and took joy in seeing you sew the complete skirt by hand. This is the first video of yours I have watched. I'm in the early stages of doing some skirts with the tops of old bluejeans and using fabric to make long skirts. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. So, I'll be seeing you. 😊 I'm from Wisconsin, USA.

Love this so much 🥰

Don’t rip it apart. Use it as a shirt. It’s very attractive.

only just caught this video - it is charming! the inclusion of animals, wild and domestic, is heartwarming and somehow authenticates your creation. I watched while baking bread - must go, it's now done! Thank you, I hope your beautiful hood has senn you through subsequent winters!! xx

Stunning!

I loved that. Wouldn't it be fun to have an outside space where you could boil the water over a fire and get some sort of aid to help you lift the water, etc? I am now going to fall down the internet to find out what that might be, mixing old and modern techniques. a long time ago I made wine, and to get the liquid from one container to another I would use a syphon, I was thinking you could do that with a filter on the end to stop the crud from transferring into your clean pot

I am so relaxed after watching this, I know nothing about medieval hoods and I found this so interesting, the scenic shots were breathtaking. Subscribed!

Bonjour, je souhaiterais savoir quel genre de plantain vous avez utilisé. J'ai testé et cela me donne un vert transparent 😕. Merci. Bonne journée

Яка ви мила дівчина! Мені так подобається дивитись як відтворюють історичний одяг, так хочеться і самій щось таке зробити

Wonderful. I love your commentary

Very informative and interesting I loved it. ❤

Very
