I knew I needed a video idea to light a fire under me so that I could finally get around to hand sewing my medieval capsule wardrobe! I wear medieval clothing for 30 days in this video, and along the way, I go through the process of making medieval clothing, as I started out the 30 days not having that many garments to wear.
The book I used to draft all my own medieval clothing patterns was this fabulous one: crowood.com/products/the-medieval-tailor-s-assistant-by-sarah-thursfield
And my lovely smock in the video was made by my friend Devon who owns the historical clothing company Baseborn: instagram.com/baseborn.co
