Plantdye with akorns
The ground outside is currently covered in akorns so I couldnt resist trying to plant dye with them. I wasnt sure what color I would get, maybe brown? I collected a bucket of akorns that I thought would last for a week or so but they dont, they mold so I also collected a bucket of new green ones to dye with both and compare.
I did not use any mordant since I didnt have any home yet, and I was very eager to try. Im happy it worked anyway!Small pot- Brown odl akorns + tabby woolWhat a result! 😀 I was soo exited to see the fabric in the big pot turn brownish pink and when dry a nice shade of vintage pink. In the picture above from left:
1. Green akorns-Vintage pink on diamond twill
2. Brown old akorns- Light brown on tabby wool
3. Green akorns- Vintage pink (slightly more brown) on tabby wool
Afterwards I got the idea that I also wanted to test on a medium gray fabric so I throwed a piece in for a while more but it only got a bit darker on the brown gray side. Now im eager to try with mordant and experiment with other ingredients! 😀

Lengberg inspired undergarments
I wanted medieval underwear but was not ready for the 15th century apple tits just yet. I know its a part of the 15th century siluette but i promise i´ll try it later! So i did a lengberg inspired bra instead. The acheologist think that the Lengberg bra was actually a underdress, and I belive so to. There is a lot of pictures from the 15th century with women in fitted underdresses that have loose skirt part from the waist down.I wanted to have a bra that I can have under all my viking and medieval garments just so I can skip the modern bra. So this bra didnt need to be historical acurate since its not going to show other than in the siluette maybe. And i can also use this one as a bikini! Linen is actually great for bikinis since it dryes so quick!To make it easy to get in it I made hooks on one side and lacing on the other side to pull it tight.Jag ville ha medeltida underkläder men kände mig inte riktigt redo för sena 1400-talets äppeltuttar riktigt än. Dom är ju en del av 1400-tals siluetten men jag lovar att gör en ordentlig senare! XDSå istället gjorde jag en Lengberg-inspirerad bh. Arkeologerna har kommit fram till att Lengbergbh:n igentligen är en del av en underklänning, vilket jag med tror då det finns många bilder med kvinnor i formade underklänningar från den hör perioden som har en kjoldel från midjan och ned.Jag ville ha en bh som jag kan ha under både vikinga- och medeltida kläder för att kunna skippa modern bh som kanske syns ibland. Så den här bh:n behövde inte vara helt hk då den ändå inte ska synas. Jag kan även använda den som en bikini! Linne är ju superbra material för badkläder då det torkar så fort!För att enkelt komma i och ur den så har den fått hyskar o hakar i ena sidan och en snörning i andra för att kunna dra åt.Here you can see who women in panties. If somebody wknows what the lady to the left is doing please tell me! Why hold a woolstick and pull down your panties next to the dude to the right? Or is this only used for menstruation? -

Whats wrong with my head? you might wonder. Nothing at all! Its just a very fashionable headwear from 1490-1500. This period is all about big headwear for women with is perfect since I wear wig!Vad är det för fel på mitt huvud? kanske du undrar. Ingenting alls! Har bara på mig en mkt fashionabel huvudbonad från 1490 ish. I den här perioden är det stora huvudbonader som gäller vilken passar perfekt då ja har peruk!I made a roll in linen fabric, stuffed with cotton (wool would be more period but i just had a lot of cotton). I fastened it with safetypins for now but i will sew it on a cap or something laterJag gjorde en lös rulle i linne, fylld med bomull (ull vore mer hk men jag hade mkt bomull). Satt fast den med säkerhetsnålar nu men ska sy fast den på nån hätta senare.
