As if I needed any more evidence that I need to learn Turk's head knots, here is an image of a purse trimmed with them from the fresco Alleg...
Throughout this project I've been referring to my new Saint Birgitta's cap as a "huvet". The term "huvet" is a French word that Camilla Luise Dahl & Isis Sturtewagen list among the many they located in their research into the possible origins of the extant linen cap now known as the "Saint Birgitta's Cap". Limiting the name of this type of headdress to an extant example doesn't do its somewhat ubiquitous presence in the Gothic period any justice. A huvet, being any number of a variety of linen caps belonging to women, is a term more open to individual interpretation, and, therefore, recreation. The huvet I have endeavored to create for my garb quest is similar in appearance to the Saint Birgitta's Cap, but it is not THE Saint Birgitta's Cap. It is Edyth Miller's Huvet, created through contextual research into my particular time period and class. I encourage all of you to think about your recreations (of any item) with this perspective- it's a great exercise in persona development. I purposefully made the cap a little over-sized so that, come next spring when my hair is longer, it will not be too small when I wear it for my A&S entry. The cap is 3.5oz white (bleached) linen from Fabric-Store.com, and was sewn by hand using 100% linen thread (white, size 60/2) from Wm. Booth Draper (machine spun). The thread comes unwaxed, so I had to run each length of thread over a beeswax cake before sewing. The embroidery along the front binding is also linen, a slightly off-white, hand spun 16/2 thread, that I also manually waxed. My mother picked that up for me at an event from White Wolf and the Phoenix. I closed the center seam instead of filling it with the woven herringbone stitch from the extant cap. I closed my previous attempt as well, but this time I did not add any decorative embroidery. The primary reason for this, in the context of my garb quest, is because it is intended to be worn as an undergarment, and going through the extra effort of applying embroidery to an unseen area of the cap would not have been appropriate. The embroidery along the front binding is a modified herringbone stitch that I sewed through two layers of the binding on top as well as the cap itself. The stitching is then covered with the rest of the binding on the bottom (inside). This helps to keep the binding from shifting or twisting during wear. One thing that I discovered as I went along is how critical the gap is at the end of the center seam. I originally left about a 3 inch gap, then stitched it shut, thinking that it was too large. When I finally got the binding in place and tried it on (before the loop itself was attached), I realized that I'd left no room for the cap to overlap in order to make it tight. That meant ripping out the stitching to open the gap back up. Turns out the my original gap was exactly right. We'll see when my hair is longer if this is still the case. Perfecting my craftsmanship is a huge aspect of this garb quest, and the fine quality of this particular piece was a great way to set the bar for myself. I tried very hard to keep my stitches tight and even, and to make the entire cap a well-finished and sturdy piece. I don't feel the band is quite up to par, though. The stitching is good, but I only used two straight pins that I moved along the band as I went, and I realized a bit late that some ares of the band are wider than they should be, and there's also a twist in the band (which is very surprising, since I was trying to pay attention to that detail.) I do want to remove the band and do it again, but I'll have to save that until the end of the project, since I can't devote any more time to the huvet right now, or I'll risk not having the quest completed in time. There is much more I can say about this cap, but I'll save it for the end of this project, when I make my complete documentation available. In the meantime, however, I would be happy to answer any specific questions you may have through this post's comments. I'll be moving on to the black wool hose next, as well as a few minor projects laying around that I need to complete. Now that I have a successful pattern on the hose, though, I imagine they will come together fairly easily- knock on wood.

nur ganz kurz keine Ahnung, ob es SO eine Anleitung schon gibt.. Ich brauchte ,ganz ganz schnell, eine Aufbewahrung für mein ganzes Haargedöns !! Und so setzte ich mich hin und nähte los ! Nicht zu groß sollte es sein also klein, knuffig und ruhig ein bisschen kitschig. In einem, Männer dominierten, Haushalt ist das okay...da darf das !! Wollt ihr auch ..?? na dann, los geht's !! Ihr braucht 2 oder 3 schöne Stoffe Stoffreste tun es allemal !! 2 von ihnen haben die Größe 35 Zentimeter breit und 20 Zentimeter hoch In der gleichen Größe benötigst Du auch ein Stück Volumenvlies. Nimm H640 das ist schön dick das Utensilo bekommt so schönen Stand !! dazu gesellt sich ein Stoffstreifen mit den Maßen 10cm hoch und 35cm breit. für die Außentasche ...also such dir ein tolles Muster aus !! Ich nahm noch als kleinen Hingucker eine schöne Spitze in 35cm Breite Paspel, wär eine schöne Alternative ! Zuerst nähst Du die Spitze an eine der lange Seiten des Außentaschenstoffes rechts auf rechts der Spitzenrand zeigt zum Stoff also Schnittkante auf Spitzenkante klappe dann die langen Seiten rechts auf rechts ....die Spitze liegt dazwischen Die kurzen Kanten bleiben offen... also ein Tunnel ! Stecken , nähen und wenden ! schön bügeln ..alternativ absteppen nun platzierst Du den Streifen auf dem Außenstoff 5 Zentimeter über der unteren Kante !! Diese 5 Zentimeter werden der spätere Boden ! nähe ,ganz knapp, die Außentasche fest... unterteile ,indem Du senkrecht 2 Teilungsnähte nähst den Streifen in 3 Fächer ! Lege nun den Innenstoff rechts auf rechts auf den Außenstoff mit der angenähten Außentasche ! Achte darauf wenn Du einen Stoff mit Muster hast der in EINE Richtung läuft das das Muster nach "unten" guckt ! Nähe die obere, lange Kante zusammen klappe die Stoffe auseinander und bügel die Naht flach ! Dann klapp die kurzen Kanten zusammen Jetzt pass auf alle Nähte müssen ganz exakt aufeinander liegen.... also ruhig ein paar Nadeln mehr stecken !! Diese 3 Kanten , die jetzt aufeinander liegen müssen nun geschlossen werden ! ABER bitte, eine Wendeöffnung lassen !! Ich lass sie nicht im Boden des Innenstoffes sondern in der Seitennaht ! Dafür müssen aber ,unbedingt die oberen 7 Zentimeter geschlossen werden... dann 7 Zentimeter Wendeöffnung lassen und den Rest komplett schließen !! Hier lass ich auch die Nadeln stecken und nähe langsam, mit Gefühl ,über die Nadeln !! So verrutscht auch nix die Nähte und die Spitze treffen schön aufeinander ! Nimm nach dem Nähen einfach die Ecken in die Hand und zieh sie auseinander ! Leg die gerade genähten Außennähte aufeinander und bügel die Ecken die jetzt Spitzen sind schön platt .... miss 4 Zentimeter senkrecht an der Außennaht ab... bitte ohne die Nahtzugabe ! Zieh ein Querlinie...ruhig mit einem Stift oder wie ich, nur mit Nadeln !! Die wird nun genäht ! Bitte ordentlich verriegeln....vernähen !! Wenn Du am Außenstoff bist siehst Du die Naht der außen angenähten Tasche !! Direkt über ihr wird genäht ...ganz knapp ! Nach dem Nähen ...schneidest Du die Ecken ab .. schnipp schnapp Wende nun alles durch die Wendeöffnung! Drücke die Ecken schön raus indem Du von Innen, mit dem Finger gegendrückst ! Die untere Kante der Außentasche ..bildet den Abschluß der Außenseite ! Jetzt schließt Du die Wendeöffnung ..mit einer unauffälligen knappkantigen Naht . Krempel jetzt die Innentasche IN die Außentasche !! Bügel die Kante schön exakt...so das Innenstoff ordentlich innen und Außenstoff ordentlich außen liegt :O) Nun einmal außen ,an der Kante absteppen... den Innenstoff ein Stückchen umkrempeln und fertig.... Die Idee mit der Spitze ist übrigens ganz toll um auch mal ein paar Ohrringe unterzubringen ! ...und ohne Spitze und mit nur 2 Stoffen..... Ich find sie süß meine Haargedönsutensilos.... probierts aus !! über Eure Utensilos würde ich mich freuen, wenn ihr sie mir zeigt !? Viel Spaß Bettina verlinkt mit creadienstag

I started this blog to organize my information on German Renaissance history more comprehensively so as to provide myself with a better persona. If you'd like to keep track of this blog, the RSS file is http://scagermanrenaissance.blogspot.com/atom.xml Since starting this blog, my research has actually centered on pre-German Renaissance, but only barely. I'm researching roughly 1470s women's clothing and Landsknehct for my husband.
