Booklets

For more than 20 years I have been selling my pattern booklets about Viking age clothing, and they are still kept up-to-date with new finds and interpretations.

You can buy my booklets in my webshop or via my resellers (links further below).

These links go to pages with more information about the contents of my booklets:

Shirt and Tunic
Trousers (2nd issue)
Outdoor Clothing
Sark and Smokkr (2nd issue)
Caps and Mittens (2nd issue; used to be Smaller Garments)
Children’s Clothing
Seams and Stitches
Simple Tablet Weaving from Finds
Nalbinding from Finds (updated with the Oslo mitten)
Cords and Braids
Scandinavian Vendel Period Clothing

I still have plans for more booklets. These are on my priority list:

Dyeing with Plants
The Skjoldehamn Find
Embroidery from Finds

Each booklet includes at least four reconstructed garments or items, with the following information:

Background information for each reconstruction with information on what we know and more importantly, what we don’t know

Clear instructions with supporting instructional pictures

Where applicable: patterns in scale 1:10 or connected to personal measurements when more suitable.
Exception: the booklets Smaller Garments and Children’s Clothing have patterns in scale 1:1.

Where applicable: Pictures to show how to place all pattern pieces on the fabric for cutting

The booklets giving patterns and instructions for textile handicraft techniques have a more varied content. See the page for each booklet for more information.
