Well, I am proud to be able to show you the finished winter tunic! The fabric is very warm and cozy and weaving the trim was a quick job luckily.
As you can see, the garment is a bit creased because I am not the only one who thinks this tunic is warm and comfy...
The pin is forged by the Kinheim Blacksmiths group, one of the groups from the Open Air museum in Eindhoven. It has a lovely spiral.
I have used very cheap wool from Zeeman for this trim, because I didn't feel confident enough to use expensive wool. Now that I look at the tunic and the trim I realise that is a ridiculous statement, but hey I am only human. At the last Archeon market I bought lovely wool dyed by Una from Muninn, so I am going to be brave for my next tape! I'll keep ya'll posted as usual.
greetz, Arda

Ah, the cat seal of approval. My most recent coat was used a cat sleeping spot as soon as I put it down...actually, it was used as a cat sleeping spot while I was sewing the wool trim on on it!! ;-)
I love grey kittens!

Silly me, the tunic looks great as well. I love seeing proper tablet woven trim on this type of garment instead of the commercial, shiny stuff. Well done.
Cheers,
