Creating my own maps of where I live with fabric and stitch. Not too concerned with accuracy but have enjoyed tracing the curves of rivers, railways, and roads with my needle and scissors. I do have a small penchant for old maps. I can spend hours trying to find the similarities and differences between the past and present. One of things I love about the UK is how many layers of history we have in our towns, and how organic and disorganised it all is. Visually it does remind me of patchwork and mending.

I took my newest woven band and sewed it onto the edge of this wrap top (also hand made) as it was accidentally just the right length. The band is made from cotton so it should be ok to wash regularly.
The pattern on the band is a replication of a similar pattern found on a narrow woven band found in a Viking ship burial site in Oseburg in Norway. I used the Elewys of Finchingefeld youtube channel to learn the pattern.
So now I’m calling this my viking tunic 😀
