Hey Sewcialists! This March we’re going to be sewing Viking, fantasy, and medieval clothes!
Everything is welcome, from authentic historical to modern interpretation to costumes-made-of-bedsheets. Consider this your perfect excuse to copy fashion from Lord of the Ring or The Hobbit, sew an early Halloween costume, or get ready for a reinactment… or maybe Viking-inspired office wear! Sew for yourself or someone else – It’s all good. Sarah started a shared Pinterest board and we’ve got heaps of inspiration pics, so go take a look and start dreaming.
How did all this come about? Well, blame Twitter again! Lady K suggested Katie try a Viking-style braid, and pretty soon we had a sewalong planned!
Just for fun, we have a few variants on the “logo” for the sewalong… you can use one of the ones below, or add your own text to the one with the blank word bubble!
AGHH I think I’m going to have to join this… where I’ll wear it to I don’t know… but it will be fun!
