Medical theories, and the Plague of 1603. How theories on disease changed into various 'sciences', and how the death of Elizabeth I affected London's 'health'. Lots of people coming in, and the plague followed. Some comparisons to today's plague as well.
Much ado about Haithabu-Making Haithabu Poofy Pants
Join Duchess Inga to decipher the Haithbu Poofy Pants! We will discuss the extant pant fragments and other clothing images that the pattern is based on and, most importantly, unravel how to translate the pattern to a workable and comfy pair of pants. In particular I will discuss the tricks I have learned through making dozens of these fancy pants to help make construction easier and improve the practical wearablity of the garment. No Materials needed! The meeting link and pattern/handouts will be posted on the event page. You can follow along with the class or watch and ask questions to try it later. The class will be held through Zoom. This is a free service with no application download required. The meeting link and handouts will be posted on the event page. This is part of a series of online classes I am hosting through Zoom meetings Wednesdays at 6:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm Pacific. You can find the details for attending the live class through my Facebook page www.facebook.com/earlysweden . Each class will be recorded and posted here so that they are available to anyone who was unable to attend.
