Progress post. Cut out the middle layer today. It's a verk dark grey thin-ish wool.
I fitted it a little bit under the bust compared to the red dress which turned out a bit large. (come laundry day, we shall see if this was a fatal decision).
Luckily it fits over the red dress and under the old apron. Currently. Laundry day is a looming threat...
Making all the visible seams (felling, hem, neckline) in the days to come, then we go onto decorations. Got some lovely silks, but also a pale grey woolen fabric.
Trying to decide on the length of the sleeves and hem. My original plan was to make a short dress, but in currently not sure. Long sleeves look nice, but will they boil me alive?
Ten days ago I was at my first concert in two and a half years. (Koenix, a Swiss folk metal band, live at Medeltidsveckan in Visby. But that's another story that I may tell when I'm not writing on my phone.)
Tonight I am out to see Die Krupps and Front Line Assembly with support bands Tension Control and Priest. I'll probably write a little report later.
Training some longbow for the upcoming medieval competition at @medeltidsveckan in Visby. The results are mixed. Trying to keep the good recurve form, but it’s a really different feel. Much lighter (mass), no clicker and a bit less forgiving arrows. #archery #longbow #longbowarchery #flatbow #blackwidowbows #blackwidow #training #summer #sports #lgbtathlete (på/i BK Fiskgjusen - Utomhusbanan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg4GFeNIQgK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Not a hiking post, but as this is an ADVENTURE blog : this week is Medeltidsveckan, Scandinavias largest medieval festival, and I'll be there the entire week, in full Viking garb.
There's a lot of security restrictions this year and numbered tickets for absolutely everything to prevent corona and avoid any tendency to crowding, so it will definitely be a different experience than normal.
But if by any chance any of you should happen to be there : say hi!
More photos will show up on my main, @demonindistress
