What has come to this!

ByThe haberdashery

I never thought I would decide to start a blog… but I did. I don't really feel like typing html on my website, which I'm updating today. And out of laziness, the idea of posting my various works on the blog, which will probably create itself. At least I'm counting on not having to strain my eyes and mind in EditPad 🙂
I wonder how much enthusiasm I'll have to keep it going. I can't count on being systematic. But maybe my work and writing a blog will motivate each other.
I already have some so-called achievements that I might be able to retrospectively include here somewhere…
Anyway, for now I'm more curious about how it technically works... so I'm finishing.

  • I am spinning

    …with a very small “pe”. I carved the spindle myself, but it’s not very crooked 😉 The spindle is perfectly balanced, because it was bought from Lepiglina. The shop-bought top is ready. The results? Sometimes the spindle turns, sometimes it doesn’t, it spins sideways, untwists, falls, the yarn breaks, “pillows” form, or the thread is extremely thin. And the phenomenon: a complete lack of frustration from failures. A few…

  • What the eyes don’t see…

    On the day of the publication of the previous post, I was optimistic and full of energy. We enthusiastically started planting the fruit trees we had bought earlier. Unfortunately, our orchard-growing ambitions turned into pseudo-archaeological excavations. What had previously looked like an idyllic, weedy meadow turned out to be an old garbage dump. Bricks from a Romanesque castle, a halberd and a padlock from a chastity belt 😉 We worked quite…

  • Dyed purse

    ByThe haberdashery

    The starting material for the dyeing game was a piece of white linen cloth and a linen thread called twine. I measured a circle with a plate, cut it out, hemmed it and rubbed it wet with alum. I bought alum a long time ago in a chemist's in the form of deodorant. I think asking here what I dyed it with misses the point, since the photo clearly suggests that...

  • Winter season

    ByThe haberdashery

    It finally dawned on me that the summer season is over. That is, the season of travel, dealing with various matters and general madness. Of course, the pleasant madness that makes you live. I have several successful ventures behind me, and for one of them, clear confirmation embedded in plastic. Now it will be an open time. Because all ideas can be started to be implemented. Without hanging deadlines…

  • Buttons – haberdashery for reenactors

    ByThe haberdashery

    My latest tailoring feats are late medieval men's clothing – doublet, cothehardie, robe… On this occasion I made a few handfuls of typical haberdashery accessories 🙂 In the Middle Ages – in addition to buttons cast from metal – textile buttons were used, i.e. made from a piece of fabric. And no wonder – such buttons are also used today, although not very often. Buttons are made of:…

    Apparently there are those who are waiting for me to finally write something. What's more, it's not just one person 😉 I've managed to do quite a lot lately, and the excess of activities hasn't overwhelmed me at all. I'm actually overjoyed that I have a lot of work - but that's probably because of the effects. I can brazenly and immodestly boast that I've started a business. From the beginning...
