If you have to do everything from harvesting the plants, extracting the fibres, making your yarn, waving the fabric and sewing the garment, you become really, really efficient with your cuts!

figure 16 in the first picture shown looks like nalbinding ! thank you for showing how to make this! I learned about bronze age shirts like this for clothing in a SCA class but seeing it again helps me remember better how to do it !

I made a Dartmoor bronze age top and then turned it into a simple dress.

Probably if you had woven the fabric to size, it wouldn't need hems except at the neck. The bottom and the sides would be selvage. The back seam wouldn't need to be "serged" either. The only seams you would need to finish would be the sleeves and the one across the back, but only the cut side.

@@DaisyViktoria the pattern reminds me of bog coat patterns I have seen.

I know someone who did that: she has spun the wool, woven it to size for her shirt and then hand-stitched it. And she made a 'skirt' that way too. Dressed with those clothes she gives demonstrations on bronze age textile techniques (and she tells funny stories about sheep)

that makes sense too, we see that a ton with later Roman clothing for example Could be interesting with that what's it called feather stitch or something like that, both for decoration and attaching selvage edges

This is amazingly efficient. I wonder if some of the fabric removed from the neck opening could be made into a little gusset in the underarm pinched area ?

note to self: i want to make this with the seams outwards and the patches whip-stitched to the inside so that it's as soft as possible.

I wonder if this would work on my more curved figure, but I think it's super cool!
@ingeleonora-denouden62225 ай бұрын
For 'more curved' you need more width of fabric. That's the only difference
@ah572113 күн бұрын
that's the beauty of this kind of pattern , you can make it as wide as you have enough width of fabric!

Super cool! I do want to gently remind you that our ancestors didn’t dye fabric yet in the Bronze Age. I really like your outfit! But with the blue skirt and green sprang this would be Iron Age.
@DaisyViktoria2 ай бұрын
Thanks, it was really fun to make, and I love adding color! Given that scholarly research including chemical analyses have found evidence of dyes in textile fragments from the bronze age, I am curious what evidence you have to refute the studies.
@ah572113 күн бұрын
people love color and many: roots , branches and berries make wonderful stains. some wools weren't dyed so people could DIY their own colors during bronze age Celts in Ireland finds
@wilhelmseleorningcniht941012 күн бұрын
People absolutely dyed fabric in the Bronze Age, though whether it was 'fabric' yet is perhaps a bit more unlikely. They probably dyed the yarns before weaving in all likelihood
