Today’s accomplishment. I finally got to wind al

Today’s accomplishment. I finally got to wind all these skeins of yarn into balls! This time I did some smaller balls to get four of the same colour. That helps when I have to thread my cards for the tablet weaving. There also was some miscellanious skeins from the Recycling centre and leftover yarn from my legwraps. All of them are now ready to be used. Now I only need to find a way to store them! #yarn #lankaa #wool #villaa #kudonta

This tablet-woven band is now ready. The total len

This tablet-woven band is now ready. The total lenght of it is 2 m 36 cm. I still do not know how I’m going to use it. I may sew it on my iron-age costume for decoration or wear it as a belt. The pattern is from the book Nauha-aarteita (Tablet-woven treasures, in English) by Maikki Karisto and Mervi Pasanen. #lautanauha #kudonta #tabletweaving #ironage #weaving #nauha-aarteita #tabletwoventreasures #bandweaving

My iron-age jewellery replica collection grew toda

My iron-age jewellery replica collection grew today with this pretty chain hanger from Nokia. This chain hanger pendant is made by Kalevala Koru in the 1930s or 1940s and it is based on a find at Nokia Tyrkkölä dated around the year 1000. #nokiankoru #ironage #pendant #vikingage #historicalcostuming #vintagejewelry #bronzejewelry #muinaispuku #kalevalakoru

I finally got the Nålbinding YouTube video publis

I finally got the Nålbinding YouTube video published! It's been a while since I published any videos and that is partly because all my filming data got destroyed recently and I had to do some serious data recovery to get at least the raw data back from a formatted disk. (I still don't know why the disk got formatted like that!) Anyway, go check that out! #nålbinding #nalbinding #nålbindning #needlebinding #nålebinding #kinnasneula #neulakinnas #crafts #ironage #historicalcostuming

A quick evening project - an apron! The fabric came from an old small curtain and the pockets are leftover scraps. This is perfect to wear with my folk skirts! #historybounding #apron #folkcostume #sewing #sewfun #essu #esiliina #kansanpuku #ompelu #ompeluelämää #sy #nähen

The issue no 1 of the new Tauko sewing magazine is released soon. I got my issue in advance today at the release party in Helsinki. The magazine has some pretty cool sewing patterns by several international designers. My friend Susanna of @kultavilla invited me to come with her to the launch event as her fabrics are going to be featured in the issue no 2. #taukomagazine #sewingmagazines #sewingpatterns #ompelu #sewing #ompelukaavat #sew

Sudden Halloween-themed crafting project: zombie-h

Sudden Halloween-themed crafting project: zombie-hands for the garden. I made the base out of steelwire and aluminum foil and then covered it with silk clay. I finished the monster-look with acrylic paint. Now I only need to buy my daughter more silk clay. #halloweencrafts #halloween #crafts #silkclay

I’m playing with traditional Finnish embroidery

I’m playing with traditional Finnish embroidery patterns and motifs and wondering if any of the patterns contain symbolism that is unknown to me. The yellow pattern grid reminds me of fields. I do not know how this work will turn out as I decided to design as I go. Old folk dress hanging pockets are a good source for design motifs and inspiration. #kirjonta #embroidery #finnishfolkstyle #kansanpuku #tuunaamunperinne #irtotasku #kansallispuku #folkdress #historicalsewing #historybounding #sew #pocket #18thcenturyclothing
