After a weeks of sewing in every free minute I had, I finished Ardien and Lisa's Coronation clothes.  All period materials and period techniques whenever possible.  All visible stitching except the hems and internal seams were done by hand - and I still want to do more so I brought the clothes back home with me.  All trim was hand woven (not by me this time - between kids and work, just wasn't enough time).
Keep watching for updates as I add more to them I'll post more detailed pictures.

Making progress...

Another day, a little more progress.  This is another cuff in progress.  This one is a bit brighter blue silk:

Current Clothing Project

So I'm working on a clothing project at the moment. It's an early Norman outfit for a man and a woman.  As I'm working on pieces I will post them here.
I posted this pic on a Facebook page so I figured I should post it here too.
It's blue silk with Triskele rondels in silver silk.  This was all done with split stitch.

Great picture from the Carolingian Utrecht psalter!

While looking for period tents, a friend came across this picture! I love it :)

It's not every day you see Anglo-saxon women preparing a warp and weaving under a pavilion :)

There is so much to see in this picture.  The women's clothing, the furniture, the pavilion, and the loom. 

It's been a crazy year!

A whole year has passed.  Did I stop making things? No, but I sure didn't post anything.  Between a job change at work, kids, and life it's just been crazy.
I'll try and do a recap.
Due to a super active toddler in the house, setting up my loom has been difficult.  A lovely lady (Thanks Jen!) gifted me with a spinning wheel and I've been working on it to be able to produce warps in the future.  I'm a decent at drop spinning, but time is an issue and I honestly like using the wheel for the same reason I like weaving - it's soothing.
Other than spinning, the majority of my projects have been sewing.
Garb has been seen for family and friends.
I'm almost finished with a men's Elizabethan hat.  While looking at late period things...I got distracted by some drawn thread/pulled thread work.  Made a hanky...started a 2nd :)
I'll hopefully be posting pictures of these various projects soon, as well as pictures from a warp weighted weaving class that I taught last year and one I'll be teaching this weekend. I'm still only working with one heddle bar, but I feel ready to work on harder patterns now that I have a firm grasp on the process and mechanics.
Talk to you all soon!

Well, chalk this piece up to a learning curve.  I was kind of frazzled and in a hurry when I was warping because I just wanted to get something up and weaving on the loom because we were at a demo.  I didn't think very long or very hard about how much warp I truly needed to be sure I had...and I should have.  I also should have known better! Hindsight being 20/20...Oh, well :)
So, I will have to find a use for this piece.  It's roughly 2.5 inches wide by around 52 inches long.  Certainly not long enough for the leg wraps that I originally had in mind.  
That being said, I learned more about how to weave on the loom and I know my next project will be that much better because of it.

I rolled some up...and I can see things I need to work on.

So I've rolled it up some.  It really shows how much draw-in I have at the top which I'm not happy about.  But, since this is only the third time I've warped a wwl, I'm trying not to be to upset about it - just taking note and learning for next time.
My working hypothesis is that I need to weave the header band tighter.  This would cause the warp threads to be closer together and there would be less draw in.  Besides the very first bit, it's still fairly uniform.  I find it harder to stay uniform with the constant stopping and starting, but life makes it necessary.  I'll be done with the current warp by this weekend.  I'll be teaching a class on warp weighted weaving the following weekend - which means the second leg wrap will be started for sure.
