“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without the work.”
- Emile Zola
Update: The Medieval Tailor is undergoing housekeeping. In order to continue providing the demos and other information here at no cost, I’ve moved to WordPress. It will take a week or two to convert the pages to pdf (I do have a full time job) but keep an eye out, the pages willl be up and active again soon
This site deals exclusively with 14th century English and French women’s clothing. The Luttrell Psalter (see Glimpses of Medieval Life on the British Library website) and the Greenland finds ( Woven Into the Earth) are the specific focus.
The Medieval Tailor is on a sabbatical. There are no new demos scheduled at this time. Please enjoy what is here, it is free for your personal use offline. If you would like to use any of the information on this site for teaching please contact The Medieval Tailor for permission. Please don’t use the information here for any other website without discussing and obtaining permission from the tailor in advance.
