S šitím tohoto baretu, jako doplňku k dětskému kostýmu doby třicetileté války, jsem velmi dlouho váhala, jelikož do českého prostředí už do této doby nezapadá. Protože by ale teoreticky v…

The third year of our children's life has always been marked by transition from their very first children's (toddler) costumes to clothes that resemble adult costumes.

For those looking for complete equipment for a child aged around 3-8 years, I have compiled an overview of how we acquired reenactment equipment for our little boy.

When our son outgrew his first historical outfit—petticoats, shoes, coifs, and a jacket—I wanted to sew the same costume for another period.

I began sewing the cloak based on Hollar's costume study of a woman in my early days as a reenactor, when I didn't know much about 17th-century fashion.

I sewed a wine colored dress—a kirtle—based on Rogier van der Weyden's painting The Seven Sacraments as my very first 15th-century costume.

I sewed this very simple woolen pouch for my 15th-century costume at the last minute, the evening before the event.

Although the coif is one of the simplest accessories in my kit, questions about it´s design and wearing are piling up, especially from those who are not fans of coifs.

I sewed this shirt secretly as a Christmas gift for my husband to go with his 15th-century costume.

I decided to sew this historical "backpack" for my husband as part of his Thirty Years' War costume. Apart from being a nice accessory, it was mainly for practical reasons.

I decided to sew a houppelande as an outer layer over my 15th-century costume.

Although sewing the partlet is one of the simplest parts of my costume, more and more people are asking me to give them its pattern.

For a few years I have observed the fashion of increasing width of stockings between the reenactors.

I decided to sew thisthis jacket when I was approaching the second trimester of my first pregnancy and I could no longer button any of my waistcoats over my growing belly.

When our first event, to which we wanted to take our little rascal, was approaching, he was already 9 months old.
