Hi! I'm Mariska, and I am an avid larper and costume builder. I love to share my experiences, and help people get started in these amazing hobbies.
Don't hesitate to ask questions in the comments, I love to chat and answer questions about the makes! (Or I would not be making these videos now, would I?)
Do send me a mail if you have a cool collab idea.

I’m from Texas and we can open carry sharp steel swords here. Be sure to check your local laws.
Great tutorial!
Fascinating.
Funny that wool could also work in summer as it wichs sweat and also can breathe. 😂😂
You lost me ! I need a seeing eye dog to get out of this video......
I've tended to prefer the welt method for making knife sheathes, basically it takes three pieces of leather not counting anything extra for mounting the entire thing, a front, back and an inner "welt" which is basically a rim around the majority of the edges (except for where the knife slots in, and it makes a very string and working pocket for the blade. Also the beveling isn't actually skiving, skiving is thinning the leather, the beveling is using an bevel on create an edge bevel. Skiving kind of skins the leather down in layers so that it's thinner in places.
Welts are still on my 'want to try' list some day! For this sheath I wanted to get a as sleek look as possible, so went for this option. And regarding the bevelling, yes, I should know that difference, but somehow I completely forgot that the word 'bevelling' was a thing when writing and recording the voiceover, woops. 😅
Ziet er goed uit. Je kan ipv de olie ook nog kijken naar het behandelen met bijenwas, dat beschermd en voedt het leer.
Bijenwas heb ik al lang eens willen proberen, alleen heb dat hier helaas niet liggen. En ik vergeet het steeds te vragen als ik bij een imkervriend over de vloer ben 😅
Love it! Great job!
That turned out so nice and clean! I totally didn't notice any of the imperfections you pointed out during the vid, it's very pretty.
A very late comment but I'm new and binge watching the videos: regarding pocket access, something I loved about my Navy-issued raincoat is that both it and the removable winter liner allowed access to your pants pockets. The outer pocket had a slit just inside that let you stick your hand through, and the liner a corresponding hole. It made it easy to reach into your pants without needing to unzip it
Ooh that sounds really practical! Should keep it in mind, who knows if it might come in handy one day.
That turned out great, I loved watching you craft this sheath. My 2 cents: • wrap your items in cling wrap so that they don't get wet while wet forming (especially if it's metal items or LARP weapons!) • that "revolver closure" is usually referred to as "Sam Browne studs" • get a 2-prongs stitching fork, it's going to be very useful! Cheers! 😁
Thanks! Only now do I realize I was going to wrap it in clingfilm and then... completely forgot about it.
waar kun je in NL goeie leer en leerbewerking werktuigen verkrijgen?
My SO swears by Boomsma in Breda. But I'm sure that, depending on where you live, there's other places.
@@Diamre thanks! :)
Zoals de andere comment al aangaf is Boomsma een prima optie, woon er zelf wel wat ver weg dus ben er nog niet fysiek langsgeweest. Verder is er in de buurt van Rotterdam Strieder, en in Zwolle Eurolatino, beide fijne grote winkels met een hoop keuze in leer wat je kan voelen. Strieder heeft ook een hoop werktuig, eurolatino ook wel iets maar net wat minder, beide gerund door hele fijne mensen die graag meedenken. En in Amsterdam heb je PuurLeer, daar heb ik leer van gekocht via Elf fantasy Fair en Castlefest, die hebben echt een hoop keuze in leer maar weet niet hoe ze zitten in werktuig of hoe de winkel eruit ziet. Hopelijk heb je hier wat aan en success!
@@MarisArmoury Bedankt voor de uitgebreide informatie! Tot Castlefest kan ik helaas niet wachten, want tot dan moet ik al mijn turnshoes maken :P

Thanks for the info, this is a good entry point
Question. I may have just missed this, but how much ease is built in? I tend to sit cross-legged on the ground a lot, and I need space for a food babies.
The waist is twice your waist circumference that is drawn closed with a string, so lots and lots of wiggle room.
Oh dear. Rincewind really is still out there, giving Death a run for his money. GNU Terry Pratchett.
This is such a beautifully accessible tutorial for multiple sewing levels! I'm an experienced home sewist, but I found LOTS of helpful ideas for making my renfaire tunic. It's one thing to know how to make this. It's quite another to be able to clearly and effectively communicate to OTHERS how to make this. You are an excellent teacher! Thank you, thank you!!!
Also, I just realized what your shirt says in the opening. "Chaotic stupid is not an alignment". LOL!!
Thank you so much! Figuring out how to explain it properly is half the puzzle and fun for me in making these videos!
A major tip that can break apart entire groups or individual friendships is if you get pissed off at someone in character, don’t take it out of character! There are a few characters that my character doesn't get along with, but don’t bring it out of game. The last event I was at, some Druid stuff happened which was new to our town and us as a town screwed up and the Druid character who was doing there own major personal plot that we screwed up was pissed off at all of us and screaming. To the point a couple people pulled her off to the side to make sure she was good out of game, which she was, just good at rp. And as soon as game ended we were laughing about the whole thing and joking. Another example is there is one character who is a absolute prick who thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread and his personality pisses me off out of game, but I have to be sure that I'm getting pissed of at the character and not the player, because the player has a much different personality, just excels at that type of role.
I am starting with Larp, and thanks to your tutorial I just sewed my very first tunic! It took me two evenings, but hey, I've never sewed before!
Awesome to hear! Two evenings is pretty fast for a first project, I hope you like it, and have fun with larp!
When he speaks about silhouettes and videogames, I can't help but think of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, where NPC's clothes would pop up as you approach. See this guy on the road? A simple peasant? A wayfarer? Well, hello there, sir! *armor suddenly appears" Ooooh, shhhhhh...
Instructions unclear, I've ended up with an ornithopter with gusseted wings. For real, though, cool guide!
I mean, that is impressive in its own way. 😂
@@MarisArmoury I'm sorry, that was a joke, but thanks for the reply! I really did very much enjoy the guide! However I did get a little confused as to how it happened when you've sewn two cylinders together and yet the waist seemed to taper out, I feel like I'm missing some step
2:06 not the smallest! waist is where you get the bend. it matters a lot for example my smallest point is about inch higher that the point where i bend because of asymmetry
love your videos about sewing and stuff, but actually getting more lore and character details is so cool, and i hope you share more of your characters' stories in the future. both as separate videos like this one but also maybe sprinkled into your regular videos.
Thank you! And with how well it was received I do plan on doing that! 💚
Does it make clothes stiff?
Not really, as it is watered down quite a bit it doesn't. If you use it without watering it down it might make the fabric stiffer, however, in a way that is also realistic ;)
What a great tutorial for beginners! I definitely feel like I could make these pants now.
Im pretty excited to try these, They look cozy! How would you recommend adding pockets? Im thinking i cut the upper legs into four skinnier rectangles (adding extra length for the new seam allowance) and then sewing two of them together, leaving a hole for a pocket on the new seam.
That would be a way, however, this type of pants isn't really suited for pockets. Once you put stuff in the pockets it can't be as poofy anymore and will sit a bit awkwardly.
So glad I found your video! This helped save the day for our cape making for our wedding ❤
Glad to hear! Good luck and best wishes with the wedding!
This is the one instance where packingcway more underwear, is not dumb at all. I fell in a mud puddle on the second day, and spilled my drink all over my lap on the third day. Its also nice to have fresh socks after the battle, when sitting in the tavern. So yeah, pack double the amount of undies and socks!
And even if you are already fully packed, more undies and socks will always fit somewhere!
Thanks a lot! 😁😈
Thank you for the effort and thought you put into this. Now go write a book so future generations can benefit from your skills.
aaaahh I did not expect Amersfoort to show up in your videos! So fun! I have lived there for five years (moved not too far away but man its not the same) and absolutely loved it there. I went to your channel for stays and chemises, so this was a fun surprise! Belhadi is still there and it's lovely to see them show up here. Real bummer that Sikkes went under though, I almost landed a job there during college. Ten Hagen also has a cool collection of fournituren, by the way! They are in the fork in the road that does NOT lead to the Hema if that makes any sense.
I absolutely still love it here, it was a good decision to move here :). Belhadi has only gotten a larger selection since this video, it is pretty much my default fabric store now I even prefer it above the convenience of shopping online. I didn't know Ten Hagen also had haberdashery (fournituren)! I recently had my sewing machine serviced but I opted to go for the other service shop around the corner. But the next time I'm there I'll hop in and take a look, thanks for the tip :)
@@MarisArmoury Yeah, it's a really fun city to live in, I always felt like it had everything you need and then some, but still with a really chill atmosphere. Haberdashery is such a fun word, TIL! But yeah, they do have a ton of cool stuff, and the people running it are also always very nice and knowledgable, def recommend swinging by them the next time you need something!
Love the Irish flag tape measure
I love your accent. Excelent video
!<3
LoL at your t-shirt :) edit: 8:15 is that a Guyver unit? 😱 there's a secret......but that would be a spoiler :p
Thanks I like my 'relevant' prints ;). And yes well spotted! It was made by the gamemasters so I wasn't aware of what it was or what it did in Guyver until after Morna unlocked the armour. But, well.. turns out it did exactly as advertised. I do love it when gamemasters add in more obscure references.
The weirdest weapon I've seen has to be the hulk hands an orc chief had to rip people in half. The funniest being the throwable rocks my friend made. They only do one damage, but it's funny to see him ping a big bad with them. One time I was a monster, and while the other "heroes" were cowering in the tavern, he ran out another door to start hucking rocks at us. When it got our attention, someone leaned out the tavern door shouting, "What are you doing?" He responded, "SOMETHING!" Certified Bad Ass moment.
Silly throwables are the best weapons! At the larp I just ended my character at we have a group of people playing a royal household. The maids are trying to 'help' by throwing foam carrots at bad guys. The faces of new NPC's who go 'was that a carrot just now!?' never get old 😂
The video was great, and very informative. Thank you. I really like your accent alot too. I dont think I've ever heard someone from the Netherlands before.
That gathering is magic to me. 😄
This was super interesting thanks!
oh shit, this would go great with the Poofy Shirt that Bernadette Banner made a few years ago.... rectangles are Very Good.
Allllll the poof!
I am from Prattville alabama. I have been trying to find a group Nearby. If anyone knows any information please let me know. It can be an alabama or any surrounding state. Or any state I love to travel a lot. So let me know where I can find one.
You can see if the r/larp subreddit knows any groups in your area? Just put up a post with the location, any genres you might be interested in, and anything else that might be relevant. There are quite a few US larpers in there so they might be able to find you something!
Superb. Bravo.❤
This is such a cool wrap up and I appreciate you share the end of her story after we saw her wardrobe come together <3 it seems a pretty fitting end for the character and having the chance to do it this way from a player's POV is so cool Really loved hearing this part of your Larp costume content, too
This was fascinating. Thank you for sharing your character 's journey with us. I loved how she changed and evolved with each LARP.
Thank you so much! For some reason talking more about the backstory side of things seemed a bit scary to me, so hearing you enjoyed it is really nice 💚
I kinda have the feeling I'll see you at Eallum next week ^^
Considering that name does not ring a bell, I'm afraid I won't be there 😅
Is it a English friendly larp?
Yup! I attended the international run, so everything was fully English spoken and there were people from many different countries. Though I will have to say it is not a campaign larp and so far no other events have been announced, so fingers crossed if there will be another one.
Why not just cut each leg as a single formed piece instead of two separate pieces? Wouldn't that be easier?
Not really I think. Partially, because it is easier to explain, in a beginner friendly way, how to draw pieces if everything is rectangles. And you won't get this amount of poof with these amount of seams. If everything is one piece, where would the extra fabric that gives it the poof come from? There would be a lot of poof at the seam but no excess fabric in the middle of the piece far away from the seam. I hope that made sort of sense.. 😅 It is kind of difficult to explain without visuals
