Turussa muotin\u00e4yt\u00f6ksess\u00e4 \/ Fashion show at Turku by Marjo-Briitta<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Samaan aikaan toisaalla: Racaire tekee blogissaan<\/a> ensimm\u00e4ist\u00e4 avohihaista\/kylkist\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4llysmekkoaan, eli ns. helvetinikkunamekkoa. Sain siit\u00e4 idean jakaa kanssanne muutaman kuvan jo viime marraskuussa<\/a> valmistuneesta joutsenmekosta. En ehtinyt silloin esitell\u00e4 sit\u00e4 sen enemp\u00e4\u00e4, kun tuli niit\u00e4 kaikkia ihania lahjoja ja muuta mahtavaa siin\u00e4 samassa rytin\u00e4ss\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Yll\u00e4 Marjo-Briitan ottama kuva (kiitos!) Turun keskiaikamarkkinoiden muotin\u00e4yt\u00f6ksest\u00e4, jossa esittelin joutsenmekkoa, r\u00f6yhel\u00f6huntua ja Moyn mekkoa, eli juurikin sit\u00e4 viime marraskuussa valmistunutta asukokonaisuutta. Moy-mekkoa <\/a>olen t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 esitellyt aiemmin ja samoin huntua<\/a>, joten nyt on joutsenmekon vuoro.<\/p>\n

Mekko on violettia, paksua ja hyvin huovutettua villaa. Valitsin kankaan sen perusteella, mik\u00e4 keskiajalla olisi ollut mahdollisimman tyyrist\u00e4.\u00c2\u00a0 Yritin l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 kankaan, joka olisi paksuudeltaan ja pinnan tiiviydelt\u00e4\u00e4n mahdollisimman l\u00e4hell\u00e4 ylellist\u00e4 keskiaikaista tuontiverkaa. Vastaavanlaatuista ja samoin pintak\u00e4sitelty\u00e4 kangasta ei valitettavasti oikein saa mist\u00e4\u00e4n, mutta ihana kangas on kyll\u00e4 t\u00e4m\u00e4kin. Paksua, painavaa, l\u00e4hestulkoon purkautumatonta ja ylellisen violettia v\u00e4rilt\u00e4\u00e4n. Malli on k\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6ss\u00e4 sama kuin t\u00e4ss\u00e4 <\/a>mekossa, paitsi ett\u00e4 nyt kun kangasta oli enemm\u00e4n, kiilat asettuivat paikoilleen yksinkertaisemmin.<\/p>\n

Mekko on koristeltu applikoiduilla joutsenilla, eri kokoisilla makeanvedenhelmill\u00e4, pienill\u00e4 lasikivisill\u00e4 soljilla ja metallista valetuilla (tinaisilla) vaatekoristeilla eli besanteilla. Viimeksi mainittuja on viel\u00e4 tusina k\u00e4sity\u00f6pussin pohjalla, joten on mahdollista, ett\u00e4 mekko saa jatkossa lis\u00e4\u00e4 kimalletta. Sill\u00e4 tietyn keskiaikaisen ylellisyysk\u00e4sityksen mukaan luksusta ei voi olla liikaa, jos siihen vain tarjoutuu mahdollisuus.<\/p>\n

Ajatus yl\u00e4osan lintukuvioinnista l\u00e4hti t\u00e4st\u00e4 mekosta, joka yhdell\u00e4 n\u00e4ist\u00e4 p.Ursulan seuraajista<\/a> on yll\u00e4\u00e4n. Eturiviss\u00e4 toisena vasemmalta seisovan neitsyen helmikirjailluilla fenix-linnuilla koristeltu mekko on mielest\u00e4ni ollut yksi kauneimmista keskiajan taiteessa n\u00e4kyvist\u00e4 mekoista jo pitk\u00e4\u00e4n. T\u00e4h\u00e4n mekkoon ei tullut helmikirjailtuja lintuja eik\u00e4 fenixej\u00e4, mutta fenixmekko inspiroi joutsenmekon v\u00e4rimaailmaa ja koristelua lintujen asettelua my\u00f6ten.<\/p>\n

Jos vertaa kuvia s\u00e4ngylle asetellusta mekosta ja mekosta p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4, huomaa miten mekkoon periaatteessa hieman ep\u00e4tasaisesti aseteltu kuviointi asettuu p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 juuri kohdalleen. Oli kiinnostavaa huomata, ett\u00e4 mittanauhan kanssa asetellessa sai p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 ep\u00e4tasaiselta n\u00e4ytt\u00e4v\u00e4n tuloksen (koska sit\u00e4 ei itse ole mitenk\u00e4\u00e4n millilleen symmetrinen), mutta silm\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4isesti aselteltuna joutsenet meniv\u00e4t tasan.<\/p>\n

Leikkasin joutsenet valkoisesta villasta ja yliluottelin ne valkoisella pellavalangalla mekkoon. Sen j\u00e4lkeen tein reunustin lintujen reunat punaisella villalangalla, jonka kiinnitin luotospistoilla hieman ohuemmalla, kokenillilla v\u00e4rj\u00e4tyll\u00e4 villalangalla. Tein sill\u00e4 my\u00f6s lintujen siipien yksityiskohtia halkipistoilla. Samoilla pistoilla kirjoin my\u00f6s krappiv\u00e4rj\u00e4tyt nokat ja mustat silm\u00e4t. Jokaiselle linnulle tuli lystikk\u00e4\u00e4sti oma ilmeens\u00e4. Lintujen esikuva uiskentelee t\u00e4ss\u00e4<\/a> eli Harley MS 4751, Folio 41v:ss\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Following Racaire ’s first sideless surcoat- project <\/a>reminded me that I hadn’t really posted any very good pics of the swan surcoat, which I finished already in November last year.<\/a> But there was so much lovely stuff going on then and there so I never did post about it, although I’ve shown you better pics of the Moy Bog-dress <\/a>and told you more about making the frilled veil.<\/a> So now it’s time for this one.<\/p>\n

I chose the fabric for the dress thinking about what would have been most expensive in the middle ages, because I was setting out to make a luxurious dress. I tried to find a fabric with some of the attibutes of the best broadcloth: thick and processed. Although there is no broadcloth available that would be exactly like the medieval ones, but I tried to find similarities in thickness and picked a luxurious purple shade, too.\u00c2\u00a0 The pattern is the same one as I used here,<\/a> but this time I did get more fabric so the placement of the gores worked out far more easily.<\/p>\n

The dress is decorated with applique swans (swans are awesome) , pearls and small cast bezants. There may be more bezants on it some day, since I still have some left. Additional glamour is provided by small brooches with glass stones.<\/p>\n

The dress was very much influenced by this dress that one of the followers of St. Ursula <\/a>is wearing. The dress with the phoenixes has been one of my favourite medieval dresses – and even though it has sleeves, phoenixes probably made with pearls and lots of other features I didn’t have time to make, it did inspire the small swans and their setting on the dress.<\/p>\n

Comparing some of the making of-pictures with the dress on the bed, you can see how the swans are a bit uneven. But when on,\u00c2\u00a0 they sit just as they should. I first tried setting them with the help of a tape measure but since I’m not very symmetrical, it never worked. Interesting and still yet very logical, all in all.<\/p>\n

I cut the swans out of white wool, placing them on the fabric with hem stitches in linen thread. I followed with overcasting a thicker dark red wool thread on the edge of the swan with a thinner cochenille dyed wool thread. I used the thinner red thread in split stitch to make the details on the wings. Split stitch and a madder dyed orangey red was used for the beaks. I like how each bird has it’s own face and look. The original after which these swans were made is swimming about here<\/a> in Harley MS 4751, Folio 41v.<\/p>\n
