Elin AbrahamssonFINALLY the second part of the blue dress sewing adventure is here!
As I mentioned in the video, nothing in the process of making this has been easy. Everything from sewing to recording and editing have been going wrong and I became so unhappy with the result in the end so I was on my way to throw the whole project in the trash bin. However, after talking to you on instagram, I decided in the end to publish it anyway. They say you learn from all the things you do, and maybe it's true. But what I do know though, is that we certainly need to see more imperfect results out there. Everything is not always going as you maybe had hoped sometimes but that doesn't make the project itself less important.

Instead I wanted to try something I've heard alot about, namely dye a fabric yellow and then add iron... I thought it never would work, but then I thought, why not give it a try?
The video is a reupload from march 2021, due to technical complications.

I'm so glad you popped in to watch this new video! This has been one of those videos that has been dragging out on time incredibly much, because of...life, but also the huge editing time.

This year may have been the most dramatical year for me as a chicken mum, a tragic spring that again and again came with new devastating insights and challenges, and then finally some sort of sunlight among the many clouds - Hedvig and Ingeborg.

MUSIC: Epidemic SoundHow to Sew a Basic Skirt | Historical - Vintage - ModernElin Abrahamsson2020-08-05 | Welcome to this little fun video I had as a cozy summer project. I have also recieved many questions about skirts, both vintage, historical and modern, so now I felt it was time to show you one method. The fact is, you can almost use the same method for all of them if you want. Naturally, certain changes can be needed, such as material, length, width, closing and hemming method. But the basics are the same, and they are extremely simple. So grab your sewing machine, or needle and sew along!
MUSIC: Epidemic SoundI Made a Mid 19th Century Working Womans Dress. Pt 1Elin Abrahamsson2020-07-23 | Hello and welcome to another video! It is finally time to post the first part of my the big sewing adventure during this spring. I was originally going to post it way back in may, but things, life, school, and a broken camera delayed that vastly. Another thing is that I mention in the beginning of the video that this is the third part of the "series", but since the broken camera interupted that plan, this video came before the second part instead! Thank you for reading and I hope you'll have a nice day!

MUSIC: Epidemic SoundAnswering the Most Frequently Asked Questions on my VideosElin Abrahamsson2020-06-11 | On my "Getting Dressed in the 14th - 15th Century, the "How to Sew a Medieval kritle" and many other videos, there are some questions that I often get asked, and especially during the last weeks. So now I thought that I could answer the most common ones. So grab your little cup of coffee...or tea and lets go through some videos and their top rated questions.

Music: Epidemic Sound Erik Ask-UpmarkThe First Year on Youtube | Thank You for 20 000 Subscribers!!Elin Abrahamsson2020-05-08 | My first video was uploaded a little bit over one year ago. Back then I just did it for fun and didn't have the slightest idea that someone would ever watch it. When I got 100 subscribers, I couldn't believe my eyes, and now in may 2020 we have become over 20 000 here. I'm so grateful for ever single one of you watching, you have no idea how happy that makes me.
MUSIC: Epidemic SoundGetting Dressed in the late 14th - early 15th CenturyElin Abrahamsson2020-04-23 | In this video I will share two interpretations on what I think could have been worn during the late 14th - early 15th century in northern Europe (Germany and Scandinavia)
Two fun facts:
- I only had one camera during this, which meant putting on the clothes several times and constantly moving the camera
- It was barely over zero degrees these days, which explains why I'm wearing pants underneath, which you can spot in the beginning, but is also why you can see two shifts in the same clips. This was because I had the supportive one underneath - putting that on later without a mirror, help and with ice cold hands would be too big of a challenge.

In the first part of my project of sewing a whole mid 19th century outfit I stumbled upon a garment in my research. It was titeled "stays" or "corset" and seemed to be a simple version or interpretation of the stays of the beginning of the century. I decided that I wanted to give it a try and then followed a long and tricky process without sources and without information. The end result maybe didn't became perfect but that wasn't something I required either. The project was fun yet difficult and I learned a ton from it.

MUSIC: Epidemic SoundI Tried to Plant Dye with Walnut and MadderElin Abrahamsson2020-01-31 | Welcome to a new video! It is so fun to be back, it has absolutely been to long ❤️ During my last sewing videos, I have used fabrics for my sewing that has been plant dyed, and through that, I've got many questions about it. So in this video I take you with me, on a little journey, into the wonderful world of plant dyes!

I'm putting on two of my hand sewn, plant dyed kirtles and a 15th century veil.
MUSIC: Epidemic SoundI Ran 4 kilometres in my 18th Century StaysElin Abrahamsson2019-10-15 | Hello and welcome to this video!
After completing my 18th century stays over a year ago I soon realised that they weren't really those torture devices that we constantly are told. However, even if they indeed worked perfectly, I couldn't avoid thinking of how it would have been to really try them during something quite physical, and my thoughts then developed into an idea where I would run in them for a couple of kilometres. I thought this would have been a fun way to really found out how this garment would affect my breathing during hard physical labor. The whole idea turned out to be an exiting, interesting and ... breathtaking experiment.
I also want to note that I, during this video describes certain experiences, and the consequences that I percieve. This doesn't have to be a general thing, and even if I expresses things during the process like that's a universal, scientific truth, it's most often just my own perception.
...and before you ask:

Music: Douce Dame JolieAttending BATTLE OF WISBY for the first timeElin Abrahamsson2019-08-28 | Follow along while I'm attending Battle of Wisby for the first time ever! Some glimpses from the Medieval Week are also included, as well as my preparations before the event.
SOME FACTS: Battle of Wisby recreates two battles wich took place in 1361. These were the Battle of Mästerby and the battle outside the wall itself, Battle of Wisby. These were consequences of the Danish king Waldemar Atterdag invading Gotland,an Swedish island in the Baltic Sea, and wanting to subjugating the island as he had done the same in southern parts of Sweden. The Danish army was superior and quickly won the two battles, forcing the local people to surrender. The event also consists of a camp outside the city wall, with hundreds of reenactors living, from all over the world, for an entire week.
Extra thank you to Hillevi Andersson, Maja Pisarewska Rugstad and Mats Gard for helping me with the filming ♡

I had originally planned to publish this over a month ago but since having crappy network and lack of time I didn't have the opportunity until now. I really hope you will enjoy it.
Just a little warning first: I am not an expert in historical costuming, even if I am talking in the video like I am 100% sure, I am not. So don't take everything I say too seriously. I am just a happy beginner that want's to share what I've learned and I hope some things might be interesting for you, but if there is some uncertainty, please ask, and If you want to continue learning more, I have written some links I think can be interesting for you below.
Extra thanks to Hillevi (@medeltiderskan) for helping me record some of the clips in the beginning and end of the video and running very beautifully from the geese ♥

The problem was, I had less than four weeks to make it and at the same time, I wanted to do everything right. Four weeks of panic sewing resulted in a nice dress in the end, and now, some months later, I am still really proud of it, but It was not at all as easy as I thought it would be...
The result was a tight green kirtle, suited for late 14th - late 15th century. This year, It will work as a under kirtle for my mid 15th century costume. ----------------------------------------------------- Follow me on my Instagram! @SEWINGTHROUGHTHEPAST
