Weekly So

This week (and generally, always) I stronly oppose (umm, hate), that Facebook 8and the likes) wants to select what comments do I see. I understand that they the additional half minute I spend on the page with changing the setting to "all comments" is important for them, but thankyouverymuch, I am a grown woman, and I don't need anybody to decide for me, what is "most relevant", just gimme all the comments and I will roll and skip what does not interest me. (BTW it would not be such a bad thing, if either "all comments" or the "most relevant" could be set as a default setting (and it would stay that way).

Program-suggestion

 The villa of Ráth György is a part of the Museum of applied arts.

In there we will reenact a real event:

At the beginning of 1907, king and emperor Franz Joseph visited the villa, in the villa the widow of György Ráth, and viewed the artifacts in.

Come, let's play history together!

Futher details here. 

Weekly pattern-muster (sewing)

This one popped up in a FB group, but I have to admit, I love it very much, though I absolutely have no idea, where would I wear it.  :-) 

This is the Tecoma Blouse from Mood Society. 

If I would make this, most probably, I would make it from white linen (what else? LOL)

Coming: Reenactor musings

Ever since I thought that some more or less regular colums could come handy, I wanted to make a series about reenacting. Not sewing historical clothes, but generally (though sometimes about clothes), about misconceptions, things we get asked often, how did it started for me, and whatever else I can think up.

I will plan these on Fridays, but then I do NOT promise a post on each and every Friday.

Originally I thought to do alternate posts on Tuesdays (travel and reenacting) but in Hungarian reenacting circles Tuesday means something else (should there be a post about that too?).

I will start next week with a big topic: reenacting misconceptions: Stays and corsets. Are they the torture devices of paternal societies? 

Weekly SO

My strong opinion this week that the newest Wuthering Heights movie (the one with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi) is bad.  

Not because it is not historically accurate, not because the costumes have nothing to do with any historical accuracy, not because it is not following the book. 

It is bad. I am glad I have not paid to go to the movies to watch it, because I would be sheething with anger. 

I've seen a couple of version of the story, and I did not even hated the one with Timothy Dalton in it (okay, that might have to to with the fact that he is my celebrity crush, and I would listen to... 

no, even enjoy him reading the phonebook to me).

But this year's version just awful. 

That is it for today.

Weekly Patternmuster (Knitting- May the 4th be with you)

Due to the peculiarities of teh English language and its pronounciation  (May the 4th /force be with you) today is Star Wars day and I brough something in this theme :-)

Rebel Allience Sweater.

Short comment

 I was talking to my friend a couple of days ago, about hairstyles we are planning for an upcoming event, and I realized I've never showed you the hairstyle(s) I've tried, back in Palmanova.

So here you go:

And yes, the dress I made back in 2019 (you should not be fooled by the fact that I actually managed to post the final dress in 2020... there is a whole series about how I made it, from the idea through the fabric and pattern, etc, among the end of 2019 and early 2020 posts)... so yes, the dress is a bit too big on me, but with the sash/ribbon it is still usable.
