Hi thread! I'm getting into reenactment (early medieval, late iron age scandi), and haven't sewn anything since I was a kid. Can I ask dumb questions here?

vaguely posted:I know there are some historical sewing geeks over in the embroidery thread, wouldn't be surprised if they hang out in here too, so you can go from the very dumbest 'how does i thread needle' questions all the way up to the nitpickiest historically accurate garment construction stuff and get answers the whole way through Thanks a lot! I've been looking over this link for some ideas to create a basic low-status 'viking' garment, to practice for more complicated stuff since I haven't sewed anything since forever  In time I'd like to get a viking market stall booth because I do a lot of reconstructionist poo poo (herbal tinctures, shamanic augury and healing performances etc.), but for now I'm in the babbys first pattern area. I'll try to ask them!

Thanks a lot! I'd probably go for in-country reconstruction patterns because I'm supposed to portray a Dane, but I'll make sure to check it out.

Goldaline posted:Also double posting but I'm back on my Weird Sports/Swim/Underwear bullshit. Pretty SFW even if it doesn't look like it at first glance? Thinking about the contrasts between fabric meant for ease of movement and the appearance of a restrictive garment? Yeah, no feedback on the technique since I'm a noob, but the look is killer. I've literally worked in a gay bondage club, and they'd let you in if you wore that.
