Sample of the brigitta cap

Hmm.. okay. My sample of the brigitta cap didn’t go that well. It was to small, and i couldn’t seem to tie it the right way. Thank god I didn’t you the expensive fabric!

Oh yeah! I also got my fabric. The wool is not what I imagine, but I can use it for a cape instead.

Here is my patterns from the book “nordbomønstre”. I am going to change them a little so I can have a long sleeve and pro haps a little tighter.

When you print them about you just scale them up to 500 % and print it as a poster. Enjoy!

Fabric is on it’s way

I just bought the fabric I will use for my Nun Project. I have decided to be a Novice – this means I’m going through the admission process to be a Nun. Thought it would fit better with my age. Most nuns went through a years long Novice training. So will be wearing a white Vail.

I can’t wait to show you guys the fabric!

Project Nun

My main inspiration in this project are the pictures/illuminates/paintings of Hildegard of Bingen.

She is one of the most famous Nuns in the medieval. I have also selected which style I want to saw in. Im going to focus on the styles between the year 1200 and 1450.

Here are some pictures:

Welcome

This is my first post. Usually are these post very doll and all “hallo let me introduce myself”. I’ll try to make this a little different. I will share my project with you.

I have participated as a volunteer on The European Medieval Festival for many years now. Here I have handed out flyers, helped the artists and been a Ticket Inspector. This year I want to try something else. So I decided to help the churches with their ceremonies. I’m going to be a Nun. Usually I can wear the same costume for most events. But this time I have to make a custom-made one. I don’t think my boyfriend is so excited as I am, hehe
