Buttons – haberdashery for reenactors

ByThe haberdashery

My latest tailoring exploits are late medieval men's clothing – doublet, cothehardie, robe… For 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. those made from a piece of fabric. And it's no wonder - such buttons are also used today, although not very often.

The buttons are made of: a disc of thin linen fabric, a small brass disc, a ball of cotton wool (fortunately available) and a piece of thread.

    Hello after a long break. I have neglected my blog a lot, because I am speechless. Doubly so… First of all, I am speechless with excitement, because many “interesting” things have been happening to me.

    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...
