I tend to buy most of my fabrics from one of the handful of Swedish online shops that caters specially to re-enactors since they guarantee the fabrics are all wool. <br /><br />I mostly use Medeltidsmode(http://www.medeltidsmode.se) or Handelsgillet (http://handelsgillet.se/shop/). Handelsgillet ships internationally, but they don't seem to have that many fabrics in stock at the moment. The pink dress is made from their "Thin wool - Twill".<br /><br />There's also a German webshop with absolutely wonderful fabrics, Naturtuch (http://www.naturtuch.de/). I haven't bought anything from them (yet), but I've handled some of their fabrics and they're lovely!Arachnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046634430932368520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752234106736354936.post-91574831949340400472012-02-19T21:34:56.280+01:002012-02-19T21:34:56.280+01:00Such a nice dress!

I'm just starting to get into historical tailoring, and finding pictures of totally hand-sewn garments makes me really believe it's possible.<br /><br />One question, though: I see so many people who do these historical costuming things using wool twill solids. Perhaps it's because I'm living in the southern regions of the United States, but I haven't been able to find anything locally or online (at least, the places I've looked). Where on earth do you find these fabrics?A True Amateurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437030079312780957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752234106736354936.post-50843011989921967192009-07-30T07:15:02.865+02:002009-07-30T07:15:02.865+02:00I think you're justified being pleased with th...I think you're justified being pleased with the pink dress--you look beautiful in it!Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752234106736354936.post-47906808866266838792009-03-07T01:32:00.000+01:002009-03-07T01:32:00.000+01:00Hi!I am a spanish girl who has just found your blo...Hi!<BR/>I am a spanish girl who has just found your blog. It's great, I am not able to do such things myself. But I love Middle Ages, and I start now to re-enact (13th and 14th century)here in Spain.<BR/>It's been a long time since the last comment but your request brought me to mind that I have an image that pherhaps you can use although I do not know how can I send it to you. It is from a catalonian museum and it dates from 1385.
