Pasamo... with passion
In keeping with the medieval tradition, I would like to make a fabric “that is useless” someday. I certainly know how to make fabrics that are good for nothing ;P While still in Biskupin at the Festival, I finished a long-hanging warp. The result was a piece of questionable quality fabric measuring 130 x 43 cm. There is a selvedge at one end…
I decided to finally remind you about myself and show that I still weave 😉 I present a selvedge made based on the find from Opole in my color version. The selvedge is 8.3 m long and 1.7 cm wide.

The description of the find is in the book: Early medieval textiles from excavations in Opole…

The edge selvedge worked well in the case of the apron, but it will not be needed in all cases.

You could say I've taken quite a long break from blogging. But time and space are getting distorted again. So much has happened to me recently that I feel like my last post was half a year ago, and it's only been a month. Seweryn didn't discover the surprise too early - only in Łekno while putting on his shirt. But unfortunately we didn't see his face, because...
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...
