Project - Olin's poofy pants - Part 1 - the background.

Nov 30, 2009 10:48

So, I'm waiting for forearm and bicep measurements from Ulfgar, so I can't really do any work on his shirt for a bit. While I'm waiting, I thought I would talk about another project I want to do, which is to make a pair of poofy pants for Olin for 12th Night.

is gonna bring us all to the yard.

Also i remember seeing something about the wicklebander straps being attached to the pant... I swear I read or heard that somewhere. I will ask the lief tonight.

What resource is that reference in. Do you happen to have a translation for the Birka book?

hey hon - do you have the pattern that used to be on the Historika Museet site? It's what I made Vik's pants from.

It also matches the pattern the Vikings U Like wear.

The only other design other than the Historika Museet design that I've seen is Christian's gathered wait pair - with the serging of shame inside ; ) Which are without the butt gusset but with a deeper crotch cut which would essentially compensate for the lack of gusset.

I guess I've not examined their bottoms as much as you have Leif ; P

I do not have that pattern. I'd love to see that pattern, can you provide me with a link? I looked at the website, but can't tell where I need to go.

Erm... I was given the "squiggly person book" and was saving it for a Norski Persona present.

Is it a good book to give, or doth it suck muchly?

Inquiring Roman personas want to know!

the pictures of objects in the wrinkly people viking book are quite useful - the drawings of how the folks looked, not so much. I just acquired both the wrinkley people book and "the People of Eight Seasons" (about the saami) They are definitely good additions to the reference library, but like any other, need to be used in a thoughtful manner

I love the story and progression. I wish I still had the first gown I made out of a velveteen bedspread. Oh the horribleness of it all!!!
