I love wearing viking style dresses in everyday life. They are super comfortable, easy to sew and you can always decorate them with small beautiful details (buttons, tapes, embroidery etc.). Goog job, Kristine!

You are so good at hand sewing! Making that dress looked quick and easy! It is plain but in a very luxurious way. You let the quest for authenticity, the story, the beautiful wool fabric itself be the heroes of the piece! You look lovely, warm, and very capable wearing it, too.

I love rewatching your videos because they’re so calming and gently inspiring, and a year later I’m still just so impressed with how beautiful and thoughtful everything is ✨💕 Thank you for making and sharing this content!

LOVE EVERY ASPECT... the wool. The history. The stories, the demonstrating. Felt I was there with you : ) thank you so much! I am going to look up your wool hat/hood/caplet. Love that also... especially off center

The fabric is beautiful. I love that it was made entirely locally.

This was the first time I have seen an ancient-style needle being used. I wonder how fine and small they could have been made at the time.

@KristineVike

Жыл бұрын

That is the question, isn't it? Judging by their metalwork they could make some really, really detailed stuff, even if we haven't found any really fine needles so far. But if they existed, I imagine they would have been out of reach for most people cost-wise.

Such a beautiful wool, it gives your dress lovely movement! It looks like a fun event!

Hi I loved the peaceful experience of watching you sew these wonderfully appropriate fabrics - thank you for listing. I loved the dress but also I loved your headpiece and hunted your videos to see if you had youtubed a making of these caps but I could not find one. I then did an internet search trying to find out exactly how they looked/how they were made but I didn't have much success. Do you know of any online resources or can I temp you into making and posting a KZread video on the subject. Many thanks. Regards, Chris in Australia :)

It is called a St. Birgitta’s cap, from the nun (I think) on whom it was found. :)

i need to find some bone needles. I have some bronze and iron ones and those need to be smoothed alot before I can use them. Your dress looks great!

Thank you! I love bone for needlebinding. They can be so smooths! We have a craftsman who attends many of the summer markets who is a true expert with bone and he makes the most beautiful things!

Very cool, but now I'm worried about my hems around the fire.

remind me the smurfs, when human middle age characters appeared in the show.

Hello, thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Is it possible to purchase this fabric?

Fin video. Var du på Borrehaugene siste år da? dessverre så klaffer det alltid med ting som jeg må være med på... Får prøve neste gang. Hvor holder du til hen? Jeg bor på Skoppum, som er fem minutter fra Borrehaugene, eller Midgard Historiske senter, så jeg bor så å si rett ved siden av.

Det blev lækker. Sikke noget vildt flot stof, og skøn historie bag. Hvor har du købt den stof ?

Ew a stink bug. They are everywhere! Is there a pattern or did you figure it out from experience? That beautiful cloth would scare me without a pattern. Even then I would be scared to cut it.
