for Seweryn

ByThe haberdashery

In Ląd, it finally dawned on me that it would be necessary to take care of Seweryn's historical clothes. It is obvious that a shoemaker walks without shoes, but this cannot be transferred to his loved ones. A shirt that I sewed last year required particularly quick intervention - a new shirt, but without trims, with scabbed (oh, the spell checker knows this word) edges.

I wove a narrow (1.8 cm) border from thin yarn. I didn't skimp on the hem, because out of the total of 6.4 m there was a little over a meter left. The effect looks something like this:

The hem of the shirt is a surprise and a secret. I sewed it while Seweryn was at work. Then I hid it in the closet, which we don't usually look into. Unfortunately, Seweryn took something out of it the next day, but luckily he didn't notice the shirt... I think. Today he went on extra duty, so I took pictures. On blogger, the secret is safe 😉

Yesterday I also sewed linen trousers, and today I think I will manage to sew another one – from thin wool.

103.1 m of selvedges – hooray, I've crossed the hundred mark 🙂

  • This year's patterned

    ByThe haberdashery

    Recently I have created a lot of simpler selvedges, but I have also made a few spun ones. They all have patterns from finds and are in the form of stripes. Plain weave, picking technique, and the raw material is wool. I had additional trouble with the first selvedge – I wove it on a yoke loom at shows in variable conditions 🙂 Birka B12, Sweden Birka B12, Sweden Birka B2,…

  • Brown series again

    ByThe haberdashery

    This is the second series of brown stripes. The number of threads and the arrangement are the same as before. The patterns are different, because I try never to repeat myself. It's a waste of time, and there are so many ideas. Weaving from coarse yarn is laborious and a bit off-putting. The effect is quite interesting, so that's the only reason I didn't throw the wool in the farthest corner, so...

  • For warming up

    ByThe haberdashery

    I hereby announce the opening of the workshop. I am fulfilling outstanding orders and preparing fresh assortment 🙂 After a long break, I am returning to weaving on the bardek. To warm up, I made a short selvedge – it is only 5.5 m 😉 Even though I am not used to it, it is quite dense.

  • Opole Krajka

    ByThe haberdashery

    I present another selvedge. The original comes from Ostrówek in Opole and is dated to the 4th quarter of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th century. I used factory yarn, 100% wool. The number of threads in the warp is identical to the original, but my yarn is thicker, so the selvedge is also wider - instead of 2.5 cm it is 3.2 cm. Plain-grosgrain weave. Length 7.7…

  • Spring

    ByThe haberdashery

    For me, spring started at the end of January. A larger dose of warm light + wildly chirping sparrows in the form of ruffled balls attached to the hedge. Apparently there were frosts and snow later - I didn't notice. But I finished the border for the Wielewit team. It is 8.5 m long and 3 cm wide. Made of Oliwia, an acrylic-wool yarn. It is very…

  • Second green series

    ByThe haberdashery

    I finished the green yarn, and the yarn finished me. This time I didn't touch up the colors, so that you could compare how I see these selvedges and how the camera sees them 😉 The warp is the same as in the case of the brown selvedges. So this series is a bit wider than the previous green ones. The swastikas fit in elegantly. I also went a step further in the variations...
