fingerloop braiding!! godddd I love this technique
emotional!! friend A from my shirt sewing group showed up with: another brass thimble (the kind I was really upset about losing!), mini shears (that I've been wanting!) AND made me a reproduction of a 14th century leather needlecase during our meeting today ("I found this pattern and well I had some leather scraps lying around. And it's your period!")???
handmade! brass! thimble!!
you can't have too much linen fabric, can you?
Gender can get a big complicated when doing reenactment adjacent things. I usually feel more comfortable in masculine coded dress, particularly around people I don't know well, but many of my interests lean more feminine (throwing up in my mouth a little just writing this. the essentialism of it). However, performing "feminine" activities while male presenting? That's magician coded.
Back from my medieval nonsense! I lost most of my voice on day 0.5 and it's still gone but it's been great. Am now one straw hat and one sheepskin richer. (Among other things...)
Today we visited a 12th century church on our way home (still in our medieval getups!) and got there just in time to catch the ringing of the bells. Magical.
did not go to the allotment today because of the Bone Deep Weariness (and rain) but!! I have:
washed my hair
transplanted my chili babies
set up the grow light
transferred kimchi from the fermentation jar to smaller glass jars
done a bunch of piercing research for something I might want
sewn the shoulder seams of my 16th century shirt and done a damn good job of it
I think I've come up with an sca name (secret for now!) and I've found my misplaced inspiration so I think I know what kind of clothes I want to make next 👀
