Well, if you're interested in the middle of the 16th century, we have a bit of an idea of what was worn on the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545. There were a number of leather jerkins found, as well as some wool garment fragments, some wool flat caps, leather shoes... that sort of thing. The

Hi, I just got an enquiry from a museum. Because this year it is renaissance year, a museum has purchased money to get 2 costumes done. I am asked to do them. I would make a dress after a portrait of Queen Sophie (the queen they remade the wedding dress for) - as a widow. A black dress, small

So long as you are not using a glover's needle backstitcing is fine. The glovers needle has that three sided cutting edge to it for leather and will cut the thread. For the thumb, you want to put that in first. You can do an overlap seam for that if you wish. That is, place the thumb piece inside

There's only really one question to answer - do you really want to do the outfits? If you do then go for it, because you'll only regret it afterwards if you don't. And the worst thing would be to end up thinking 'what if I had...'. Well that's what I always tell myself when I take orders for
