I hand sew on long car trips (because my husband likes driving much more than I do), when one of my sons wants to talk with me (machines are loud), when I am visiting with someone. I use the machine when I am in a hurry to finish the project. <br />TinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-7211346477110843662010-05-13T22:19:20.049-04:002010-05-13T22:19:20.049-04:00Allison, I agree.

I personally enjoy sewing by hand, as I think it gives you a bit more control over the stitches than a machine gives you. <br /><br />Allison Elizabeth ♥Allison Przeslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376064992551867199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-64419856488925591562010-05-13T18:12:55.708-04:002010-05-13T18:12:55.708-04:00Halfrida, the problem is that there are not as man...Halfrida, the problem is that there are not as many popular periods reenacted. We recently had a discussion with somebody that was involved in Renaissance. She noted that many people that went to "Renaissance Faires" as opposed to what she did, were more into dressing like fantasy characters, and not really interested in the real history. These things limit the amount of periods we can seriously do. I notice on the latest post on your blog that you said that the weather stopped many people from coming out, and there were only a few of you. You most likely had more people than we'd ever be able to muster for that period. At least, people really interested in portraying it realistically. Those pictures you posted were AWESOME. I'd love to come see some of that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-30730470344079201572010-05-13T09:50:41.555-04:002010-05-13T09:50:41.555-04:00Those are great!

I know if I'm hand sewing a viking tunic or dress that will take me roughly thirty hours but they have no tailoring and the patterns are usually very simple.<br /><br />Something like a cloak (rectangular, two layers) I can do in 4-6 hours.<br /><br />Wassail!Pomona https://www.blogger.com/profile/03810484133929165070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-88257880677291923842010-05-12T05:36:30.701-04:002010-05-12T05:36:30.701-04:00With the amount of homework you had it's no wo...With the amount of homework you had it's no wonder things have been moving slowly.

I have patterned out that apron from that website if you want to get together and sew that sometime. I am not sure if we can make it this Thursday, Andy adopted a cat and we are picking it up Thursday morning. I am sure he is going to want to stay with it a few nights.
