If you have to do everything from harvesting the plants, extracting the fibres, making your yarn, waving the fabric and sewing the garment, you become really, really efficient with your cuts!
Probably if you had woven the fabric to size, it wouldn't need hems except at the neck. The bottom and the sides would be selvage. The back seam wouldn't need to be "serged" either. The only seams you would need to finish would be the sleeves and the one across the back, but only the cut side.
I know someone who did that: she has spun the wool, woven it to size for her shirt and then hand-stitched it. And she made a 'skirt' that way too. Dressed with those clothes she gives demonstrations on bronze age textile techniques (and she tells funny stories about sheep)
that makes sense too, we see that a ton with later Roman clothing for example Could be interesting with that what's it called feather stitch or something like that, both for decoration and attaching selvage edges
This is amazingly efficient. I wonder if some of the fabric removed from the neck opening could be made into a little gusset in the underarm pinched area ?
figure 16 in the first picture shown looks like nalbinding ! thank you for showing how to make this! I learned about bronze age shirts like this for clothing in a SCA class but seeing it again helps me remember better how to do it !
Super cool! I do want to gently remind you that our ancestors didn’t dye fabric yet in the Bronze Age. I really like your outfit! But with the blue skirt and green sprang this would be Iron Age.
Thanks, it was really fun to make, and I love adding color! Given that scholarly research including chemical analyses have found evidence of dyes in textile fragments from the bronze age, I am curious what evidence you have to refute the studies.
people love color and many: roots , branches and berries make wonderful stains. some wools weren't dyed so people could DIY their own colors during bronze age Celts in Ireland finds
People absolutely dyed fabric in the Bronze Age, though whether it was 'fabric' yet is perhaps a bit more unlikely. They probably dyed the yarns before weaving in all likelihood

Indeed!
I would initially rip the fabric along the grain rather than cut it, when making an Egtved dachshund blouse.😋🐶
Nice music, btw👍🏻

For sure!
@@DaisyViktoria the pattern reminds me of bog coat patterns I have seen.

I made a Dartmoor bronze age top and then turned it into a simple dress.
That sounds wonderful!
note to self: i want to make this with the seams outwards and the patches whip-stitched to the inside so that it's as soft as possible.
That sounds so lovely!

even I could do that! definitely iron it, you will be siting with the seams to the back.
Yay! You got this!
Thank you for demystifying the pattern! It looks really cool, I definitely want to try making one now.
Yay I am sure you will do amazing!
That is so cool. I have got to try this.
Yay I thought it was so clever! I am sure you will do a fabulous job!
They were smart, those bronze age people!
I wonder if this would work on my more curved figure, but I think it's super cool!
For 'more curved' you need more width of fabric. That's the only difference
that's the beauty of this kind of pattern , you can make it as wide as you have enough width of fabric!
THIS IS SOOOO COOL!!!! I love the pattern.
♥️🎉♥️
Watching a second time a day later helped me really understand. Very interesting and simple . I love it. Thank you!
What a wonderful and efficient way to make a shirt! Thanks for making it look doable!
Yay so glad you enjoyed it! People have always been rather clever!
Very cool 😀
😄♥️😄
Super cool!

This is great, definitely gonna try it out! Sorry if I missed something but how did you hem the neck hole? Thanks
