Description Just finished, a new cotehardie. Sewn by hand in felted wool, with waxed linen thread. Lined with dark green linen.
As it is all handsewn it has taken me about two months time to make. Of this time, at least one month has been devoted to the art of buttons, and button-hole-making.
This is by far the piece of clothing i've been bleeding most for, literally, as i have managed to pierce myself with the needle about forty times.

I am so far very happy with the result, but it has yet to be tested. It's a bit tight around the shoulders, and in the right arm, but it will stretch with time.

Edit: Better pictures.

Argh vad snygg! För mig som just och just kan lappa spruckna byxor etc är handsömnad alltid lika med ultrahäftigt.

Tack, tack.

Helt ärligt känns det skitbra, ända tills man är klar och undrar varför i helvete man la ner 80 timmar och nött sönder fingrarna på något som hade tagit en timme på symaskinen...

It appears well-crafted and fits well too. Good job!

Fin! Fast jag kan tycka att bältet borde ner en bit, åtminstone till midjan, även om man till cottar väl ofta ser dem nere på höfterna. Å andra sidan, men tanke på den anspråkslösa färgen är väl detta en hantverkares dräkt snarare än ett modelejons, så då är det ju ganska vettigt att bältet sitter där det är praktiskt...

Jag håller med, men min bror som höll i kameran gjorde inte det.
Tanken från början var att göra en alvisk dräkt, men med stor utgångspunkt i historiska kläder, men vi får se hur långt jag orkar dra det.

Fast din bror som höll i kameran har ju uppenbarligen ingen koll på vad som är snyggt och inte.
Det låter ju riktigt trevligt! Mitt ex hade en sidencotte senast han alvlajvade, det är inte dumt alls faktiskt.

Jo, jag håller med om att det är ett plagg som passar väldigt bra till just den estetiken. Fast jag vet inte om jag skulle vilja ha just siden i skogen.
Den här är sydd i försvarets vadmal från trettiotalet, och tål allt från regn till eld.

Nej, men det var ett ganska slitstarkt tyg i något syntetmate... ahem, jag menar alvmaterial.

Thank you.
Memo to self; make sure button holes are somewhat bigger than needed. It is very annoying buttoning an arm where half of the buttons are just a tiny bit too big to fit easily in the holes...

Lovely work! Your hand-sewn kit never ceases to inspire me! And just think of the blood as being... more authentic.

Well, I guess I should be lucky I didn't decide to make it in white linen... At least the blood is hard to see on the gray...

Incredibly stylish! And comfortable as well? Too bad you can't gain weight and still fit into it. xD

Noctiped In reply to Liquessen [2011-10-25 15:21:37 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yes, it is quite comfortable, but it will become better after wearing for a time, when it has softened up a bit.

Yeah, I know. Luckily for me, I very rarely do that.

Hah, we share that problem. Weight gain, not my best of friends.. But I miss her so! Woe me.

I should make a cotehardie as well, but need to find wool first, and a pattern.. and become better at sewing.

Naaw.

I can recommend "The medieval tailors' assistant". That is where I learned to make cotehardies.

Very nice! And any good piece of garb demands a blood-sacrifice - especially as it seems if you've pricked yourself once, you're bound to do it again.

Tack tack. Fast man får betala med blod, och försvunnen känsel i vissa fingertoppar.
