So, Saturday was particularly productive. I completed 2 projects and got half way through another. The second completed project is for the Modern History Challenge….make something using a historical pattern but adapt it for modern wear. This is my submission.
What the item is: chainmail bracelet
The Challenge: modern history
Fabric: n/a
Pattern: European style chainmail
Year: this style was common from the middle ages
Notions: rings
How historically accurate is it? Pattern for weave is accurate and I believe the rings are accurate as well as far as metal content size and shape. They never would have made a bracelet out of it. 50%
Hours to complete: 2
First worn: for photo
Total cost: $8
