Katafalk – Cathrin Åhlén [Blog & FaceBook, Pinterest]
- Her sewing skills are breathtaking. She also makes her own leather (and wood) period shoes and the wooden shoe lasts needed to make the shoes! Take a look at her Tumblr and Pinterest pages for inspiration and her LONG list of great tutorials. The tutorials include a list of pre-1600 clothing and items as well as modern items and sewing tips.
