Making Emer’s Smokkr

I’ll be posting my analysis and notes about making this interpretation of the Norse smokkr soon.

Making THL Emer ingen ui Aidan’s Smokkr: Examples

• • Class Handout from SUN 2018         

• The Simple Smokkr — A Proposed Hedeby Reconstruction by THL Emer ingen ui Aidan

First smokkr (inside out to show seams)

Third Smokkr

Fourth Smokkr (mine)

*Ideally this would have been made out of 3-4 yards of fabric instead of just two. This would have given me the train that is seen in period images. Also, it should have been tighter at the bust. However, this is by far the nicest smokkr I’ve made to date.
