This challenge is specifically set towards those that have not had the opportunity to sew a garment/object by hand. This challenge is NOT a competion, merely a place for new handsewers to document their progress and seek feedback and help, and to challenge themselves. Sewers that are experienced in hand stitching items will not be excluded, but this is meant as a chance for those with no experience in this realm to get a start.The Challenge I propose is that all persons joining the challenge pick a garment or object of textile nature, no matter how small or large, i.e. a pilgrim bag, a Coif or any type of hat, socks, flag, gloves etc., and have at least one form of documentation for its existence during the SCA time period. Acceptable forms of documentation for this project will be paintings/woodcuts/drawings with the desired object in it or a picture of the desired object.The challenge starts first of June and will end one year later. People can join the challenge at any time during this year. Those of you with handsewing experience are invited to follow the blog, and leave comments and feedback as the challenge progresses. The challenge is based in Drachenwald, but is open to all kingdoms. If you would like to join the challenge (and the blog) please email me at gottfriedkilianus@yahoo.com to be added!

My Handsewing on Apron
I've finished the hand sewing!!! Now to iron it, ha ha. Should have done that before the pictures.
Now I will be sewing blackwork on the bottom. A fret of Thistels is the pattern I'm going to do.
grate Job! Looks very nice. From what time period is it? Do you have a picture of what you where trying to create? I am really looking forward to seeing the black work on it.
