Description
There it is, I wanted, no, needed to make one for ages and. Made of a beige wool, nice and warm, with embroidered panel. ( I might fill other panels as well over time) and matching beads. The only thing missing are the tortoise clasps. I haven't figured out how to make those or haven't got the dough to buy them hihi!The embroidery was based on Viking embroidery, but adjusted to my own liking, and I like horses and knotwork! The dress underneath is not period, but pretty close.
The apron dress is FOR SALE..

was this from pattern or by hand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
from a pretty basic historical pattern, but drawn out by hand dicrectly on the fabric. I jotted down the measurements and how it shoudl be placed on the fabric on a little note and then measured and chalked some references on the fabric. It is nice and simple really!

Cool ! So my explanations were not too confusing ? The embroidery is great ! And since you are working with leather.... I made my first set of brooches (before I could get the metal ones) with round pieces of leather (the vegetable tanned), which I worked with water and a hammer to get a slight bowl shape. Then I stained it and decorated with studs and stitching and made two holes on each side. I then used stiff metal wire, which I folded in a spiral on one end and sharpened to a point on the other end. It makes something similar than a leather barette (with a pin instead of a stick). Of course, it is not historical, but it serves the purpose of holding the dress. I hope you understand what I mean here.

The embroidery design is beautiful, i love the colours and it is very well done - i think if you did the other panels too it would look stunning.

Very nice! I love how wool looks, but am mildly allergic to the stuff, so I have to either where it as an outer layer where wont rub me, or find an alternative fabrice that has the look of wool.

luciky I am not so woolitch prone, but this is an outergarment!
You could line wool fabric, wouldn't that help?

I have, and I do... But that does mean no wool stocks for me, and absently no wool sweaters over short-sleeved shirts!
