I made a pleated apron for my brothers girlfriend this summer. I used some of the many great internet sites to find information about the projekt: Larsdatter - here you can find a lot of great pictures of different kinds of aprons from the Middle Ages. At the site you can also find a pdf-file on pleated aprons.
Here are blogs that shows how to make this type of apron:
Sasphyria
Matrilda la Zouche´s Wardrobe - this one is really great and was the one that I got a lot of "how-to-do" information out off.
This is the end product - Louise (yes she has the same name as me :0)) is very happy with it and have worn it to two markets during the summer. She gets a lot of questions and "oh that is really nice" so that makes me want to make one during winter for myself. I think I might make the combes a bit smaller so that they don´t open quite as much.
It's so beautiful!! I'd love to have one too :-)
ReplyDeleteIt´s really easy to make...I just found some pics of how I made it and will post them later today.

Väldigt vackert!
ReplyDeleteBra med "how-to"-bilderna också, nu blev jag också sugen på att försöka, men det får bli nästa år eller så :)
