It is always the best feeling when you finally get to cut your weaving off.
It feels like the weaving of this Viking tunic took forever but I think that is only because the research into creating an authentic replica tunic form the viking era took such a long time and then of course the winding on and threading up of the 5 metre warp did take a while to do. BUT here we are all done and even with a nice grey band running down it. Next is the cutting out and then the sewing up. I have been researching the traditional seams from this period but I am a little nervous about the material fraying at the edges if the seam is not done well enough.
