Dear friends, now is the time for me to share with you my hard work 2 weeks ago ...

Yesterday my friend Daniele phoned me and said "okay Sonia, when we get out from the tent dressing the clothes you sewed for us, we had 20-minute of silence and oooohhhh"
The fabric with the eagles, in silk thread was woven by hand in Germany, the clothes are historical reconstructions of the thirteenth century.
Sorry but I am really proud of the result :-)

Wonderful, Wonderful!!! So much thought and time put into these costumes. Searching for just the right material and colors had to have taken weeks to find it all. Just wonderful.

This is sooo beautiful and I only can imagine how many, many hours you must have spent even prior to starting sewing - all the investigations what kind of fabric and which patterns to use - and then the sewing itself. You really have the right to be proud.
There is also beautiful scenery around - maybe an old castle?

By the way: I am from Germany but we visit and revisit our sister town
Dicomano every spring/autumn and I am always happy to see them
in their historical costumes .....

Stunning work. It must have been scary to cut that handwoven fabric!

when I saw the picture I was afraid but the fabric was more substantial than I thought! fortunately it was a model that I had already done for them with less valuable tissue
