A new viking bag
I like to use my “belts” for other things (except belts), so I made again a bag for a viking friend. I am happy with the bag, except the bag handels which I bought (and dont like all that much). I am thinking about how to make my own handels in the future. The woven…

A new weave and a new jacket…
I have finished yet another jacket (the 5th in 4 months) and a new Sulawesi weave, which I aim to make another bag out of. I will start with the Sulawesi belt. It is in wool, 24+6 tablets. My own designs , as usual. I modified my elk design and I belive they look better…

Weaving and sewing
I have advanced slowly on the weaving lately since I have been doing some sewing. I have added a page dedicated to sewing on the blog. Please feel free to check it out here. Here is a preview of my current weaving project though, which is a mix of various animals.

Another vintage coat…
After sewing my green coat from a 1950-pattern, I felt inspired to sew a 70’s coat with fluffy lining. So I found this pattern from 1975 on eBay and decided to use up some of my medieval fabric stash (diamond kypert?). I also bought some faux/fake fur (black curly, like a small lamb) for lining…

A new viking bag.
I like the viking style bags with wooden handles, and it is a good place to use some of my woven straps/belts. So I made a belt with the leftovers from my coat and then I did a Sulawesi style strap in thin wool in colors to match (green, white and brown). So here it…

Another belt fresh off the loom
I have been working on this belt on and off for the last month or so, in paralell with sewing my coat. I do like the color combination, but I need to draw some new patterns for 16 cards. I seem to weave the same designs over and over. I do like weaving the edges…

Sewing myself a vintage coat.
I have taken a small brake from tablet weaving to sew myself a vintage coat. I found this pattern and I fell in love with this design from 1949. I also have a stash of wool fabric that I bought for some medieval sewing project, that did not happen. I have been wanting to use…

Some sewing.
I have done some sewing this last week(s). First a real-life coat, which turned out really bad. I have not done ordinary sewing for very long. So I decided to come back to my comfort zone and do a new Viking apron dress. I have wanted for a long time to try a version with…

The Silk weave is off the loom
I finished this belt quite fast. I really like to weave in silk, since it is very smooth. However, on the down side, the threads are brittle and wear easily during weaving. Well, here it is. I thought of this “horses” pattern (to the left) while weaving, and I really like how it turned out.…

Creatures in squares
As some of you may know, I have created quite a few patterns on the theme “creatures in squares”. Here is a small sample of some of them. I am still experimenting on the context and new patterns. Some of them can be found in my design section.
