Needlework
Last night I started out with cutting the pieces for the bag out of some scrap linen I had lying around. I used one of my other bags as a rough estimate for a good size for it. Due to being old scrap fabric, it's all horribly wrinkled. I couldn't be bothered with ironing it first. All the pieces are now put together. Still wrinkly, but looking promising. Next up is decorating it! All finished! I found some green yarn in the yarn basket (probably the most exciting colour in there... I have to do something about my yarn supply some day). I decided to go for fairly simple decorations, since the bag won't be all that fancy. To make sure the tassels would be the same size, I wound the yarn around my mac remote for each of them, rather than just using my fingers. And a small closeup of the button closure. I made the braided loop by first attaching three long pieces of yarn to the lid, tying them in place, and then braiding the ends. Once they were long enough, I tied the two braids together to form a loop and cut off the excess. In conclusion I'm happy with how the bag turned out, being made in a hurry and with nothing but scrap pieces. The shoulder strap is a bit on the wide side. I'll see how it feels after I've used the bag for a bit, and might make changes to it, but for now I'll call the bag finished.

This set consists of a leather covered glass ink bottle, a cylindrical leather pen case, and a rectangular case suitable for cards or wax tablets. The leather is laminated with a rabbit-skin glue, and dyed with an iron oxide mixture. This will be a truly unique set of items, as I had forgotten how much I despise tooling in geometrics, so I don't plan on doing it again.

I've been in love with Medieval fashion ever since 2015, when I made my first 1360s gown. Five years later is time for a new one!
