- In this video I show you how I make my Viking Age apron dresses, or 'smokkr' as they are also called. This is meant to be a helpful video for you who just started with Viking Age living history, or for you who just want to make yourself a Viking Age apron dress for living history or reenactment.
I have also made a tutorial on my blog, which is intended to be used parallel with this video if something is unclear. You can find the post in the link below:

Thank you so much for this. And a special note: This is great for Viking reenactments, sure, but also super cozy around the house (no one has to know but you and the cats)! I love my apron dresses all winter long!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 🧡 I really appreciate it 😊
Nice video. Easy to understand the process. Thank you.

Fantastic! Definitely will have one in the making in the future. Thanks! P.S. I love that blue wool.
Thank you for your wonderful comment! I'm happy you liked the video! 😊😃
Hej
Love your video. I have been told, being a Danish viking reenactor myself, that one should make garments wool on wool, or flax on flax. But I see that you put flax straps on a woolen dress. I like it! But do you know what finds tell us that this is "Ok".
I'd like to do my new selekjole like yours, but would like to back up my decision on facts, as I meet people who "care a lot" about authenticity.
Thank you so much😊❤
Hi! Thank you! I've heard this when it comes to the thread you use for sewing. If you go to the article on my blog, which I link to in this video, you can find the sources 🙂 I use my friend, Hilde Thunem, quite a bit as a source. I know she mentions linen straps on wool smokkr in her article "Smokkr". I, too, surround myself with high-quality reeactors, so research is important. Why else do we do this? 🤷🏼♀️🧡
@@tonjeshistoricallife Ok, excellent, thank you very much.👌🤗 I'll check her out. Have a great evening 🌞🍁🍂
This is beautiful! Can you maybe show us how to create the underdress also? :)
Thank you 😊 Yes, I am already planning it, that and many other tutorials 😁
I just came to say this!
Wonderful! Thank you for the video.
Thank you for your supporting comment 😊🧡
Thank you for your supporting comment! 😊
Thank you, so very much. ❤ I have tried finding a Smokkr tutorial that breaks down measurements for each individual person, and your tutorial has honestly been the best of them all. Well done! 🎉🎉🎉
I am so happy to hear that you find it helpful! I am thrilled to hear! Thank you so so much for your very nice and motivating comment 😊🧡
Lovely
beautiful dress and you're really sweet
Thank you so much for the very nice comment! 😊 🧡
I would have loved to see a full view of the finished outfit!
I can try and make that happen 😄😄
Seems most reenactment people.want to wear clothes people of high standing wore. I would like to know what regular viking wore
Yes, it have been a "problem" for some years, but again, most garments and items found in most archaeological excavations are evidence from the richest in their society. Lately, more and more people, including myself, have been exploring the lower status humans of the Viking Age society. The reason why I chose to do a tutorial on the apron dress is because it is such a known piece of clothing, and there has been done so much research on this particular garment. Also, I think I'm entitled to wear a bit higher standard garments when I do my living history, as I am the chieftain of my group 😉
Do you know if there is any groups in Alton Missouri region?
I am originally from sweden and my brother researched our ancestry on my farmors side. We are related to viking kings according to his research
Therfore I am interested in viking clothing
I am making a linnen dress from grimfrost
I'm not too familiar with the groups in the USA, I'm afraid. There are a few Facebook groups in which you can ask.
Hi from 🇫🇷
Very interesting and relaxing video.
I'm particularly curious about the bells on the brooch, I really like the idea.
Is it a personal fantasy or is it inspired by an archaeological source ?
Thanks in advance
Thank you so much! I was hoping it would come out as relaxing and enjoyable 🙂 Well, the bells are probably not that historical accurate, but I've always had them there (for almost 12 years now) so it's hard to take them off 😅
Don't, it's your character after all =)
A problem with the directions: She said to use the width of the fabric as the width of the front and back panels at the hem. Yikes! Is that 44”, 52” or 60”???? It depends on what kind of fabric you have. Needs better direction, like an angle or a proportion compared to the panel, or just “8 inches.”
The reason I don't mention the width of my fabric is because it doesn't really matter that much. I'm doing it this way in my tutorial to give my apron dress width in the length. If you have a narrower fabric you could solve that with panels or gussets.
Most fabrics that you can buy today are around 150 cm wide. If you have significantly less than that you just don't make the two panels at the same time, and still can achieve the fullness of the width. This I am also mentioning in my blog which follows this video:
"So, how much fabric will you be needing? An easy way to measure this, is to measure out the total length you want for your dress and then double this number. Notice that this applies when you have wide fabrics, measuring 140-150 cm in width. If you have a fabric that is 70-80 cm in width, you need to multiply your number by four instead of two."
Hope this clarifies your questions! 😃
Whered you go?
@@hydrophobicbathtowel6816 I am right here! Just haven't had the time to make new videos 😟🫶
@@tonjeshistoricallife well I hope things are well. I will just have to rewatch the old videos again 😁
Cool, men drop musikken
Takk for tipset. Har du noen grunner til at du syns jeg skal droppe den?
