SCA: 2025 Recap Post

 Here's a quick look back at all the large projects I've made for the SCA in 2025 (not counting small stuff like bags, miscellaneous weaving, things like that):  

FEBRUARY: 

1.  A red linen Viking outfit for the A&S Competition at Bryn Gwlad's Candlemas event (I won), which I also took to show off at Laurel's Prize Tourney (it's not a tourney/competition and there is no prize, long story):

2.  A blue linen tunic for my male Viking kit, with tablet woven trim: 

MARCH 

While I spent most of the spring working on my project for Kingdom A&S, I did manage to complete part of it, which I entered at Bjornsborg's A&S competition in March: 

JUNE

Still working on the project for Kingdom A&S!  With the leftover fabric from that project, I made a rectangular cloak to wear with my male kit: 

JULY

1.  The Kingdom A&S project is finally finished!  

2. I also whipped up a quick Viking outfit in Sprezzatura household colors, which has become one of my favorite things to wear (even though the sleeves are way too long, oops): 

 

3.  I also made myself a Skjoldehamn hood out of some green wool that was leftover from the Kingdom A&S project. It's not finished - it's sewn together, but not decorated or anything like that. Not yet, anyway.  

NOVEMBER

Last month I made a klappenrock coat for my friend Ivar, out of some wool that someone gave to him: 

And that's it for this year!  I did lots of other small things - bags, bits of weaving, little hats, that kind of thing.  But these are all the major SCA-related pieces I made during the year. I feel like this is somehow...not enough? Is that a thing?  I don't know.  

I can't wait to see what 2026 holds! I'm already started on a couple of A&S pieces for the spring - show you soon as I have some measurable progress to report.
