Good on you! nice work. Upholstery leather is really too soft and supple for most footwear. If you prefer this soft supple stuff perhaps kangaroo would be a good option? Roo skins are very strong, thin and stretchy, but most importantly they're very cheap. I found 5 skins for $50 on eBay which for any type of leather is just a steel. I've recently made quite a few sneakers out of recycled couch leather and it's just rubbish. LOL but its free :) I also made a pair of slippers out of couch leather which were very nice for a few months. I'm pretty sure there's a certain amount of acidity to the human foot just from sweating etcetera because my slippers totally disintegrated. LOL upholstery leather just doesn't seem to have the same robust tanning requirements that you need for footwear but I'm very much guessing only time will tell.

Yes someone else recommended vegetable tanned leather and I found some very thick kind which I want to try to use for some sort of medieval style shoes. See if that works better.

Doubt they wore a peplos which is Greek but they probably copied the stola which would have been worn by the Romans only a couple of centuries earlier - assuming you are in Britannia that is. Watch the video on this by Crow's Eye Productions, based on actual finds and the clothing they show the Anglo Saxon women wearing is totally different and makes more sense. It shows those living in the vicinity of Sutton Hoo for those interested and they wear garments worn elsewhere in Europe at this time rather than a garment worn in classical Greece in the last millennia. Saying that I do like the colours and the green as an over gown would look nice, just not worn as a classical Greek garment in POST Roman Britain.
@gabbytriestomakethings 5 күн бұрын
I have to relook up my sources on this because I definitely was reading some things that showed a peplos like garment for the period, unless I was just misinterpreting the image and thought it was folded over but it wasn't. Oddly wikipedia also describes a peplos like garment. I will have to find what it was. I do need to watch that Crow's Eye video, I haven't seen it yet.

Could always also look at local game processors for leather. It might not be ideal for your beliefs, but it’s probably better to use game leather that would otherwise be discarded if no one wants it.

As long as its for the trash its for me. I have some other that isn't thick enough for shoes that I used to make a bag which was originally on a couch belonging to a family member and they gave me the pieces when it was being reupholstered. There are times I bought discards from airplane leather too but another viewer in that oseberg boot video said it was chrome tanned leather and that it was better to use vegetable tanned leather for shoes. I have managed to find a fairly large second hand scrap of thick vegetable tanned leather that I will use for my next set of shoes.

Would there have been any jewelry worn with this style of gown? Temple rings or necklaces? Brooches other than those used for closures? Are there any examples available? I'm assuming that headwraps or coverings were not that common.
@gabbytriestomakethings 24 күн бұрын
Depending on wealth different types of jewelry may have been worn. I have even seen in UK antique shops a few different types of jewelry, necklace or bracelet possibly an arm band type thing that they are claiming to sell as originals. Here are some links to some jewelry articles in relation to Anglo Saxons. Pendant type things seem quite common. I believe also bead necklaces. coriniummuseum.org/2022/12/anglo-saxon-jewellery-from-burials-to-beowulf/ www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/466158

What colours and coloring agents would they have had available?
@gabbytriestomakethings 2 ай бұрын
Lots of plant dye materials! Weld makes yellow, woad makes blue, madder can make pinks, reds, oranges, depending on how fresh it is and other elements. There are also mordants etc that can alter colors, iron as a color shifter can make things more muted or more of a green tone. In addition multiple dye baths can be used to over dye one shade on top of another creating many various tones. Also for wools there could be whites, ivories, greys, brownish or near to black depending on sheep natural fleece colors. The bolder the shades the more dye material required so the more wealthy would have more vibrant clothing, whereas the poorer population might have been the last to have their fabric dyed and receive lighter hues. It can require a very high volume of dye stuffs to get a vibrant color.
