Hi all,
If Marathon taught me one thing, it's that I need more practical footwear -- specifically boots that don't admit sand so easily. I'd like to make them myself and I'm considering using Hedeby shoes as the basis. Does anyone have a pattern handy -- or a reason this isn't a good idea?
If Marathon taught me two things, it's that I need more practical footwear and a linen tunic. Is it true that linen always bleeds in the wash? Should I use a similar colour for the trim, or a different fabric entirely that won't bleed, or do I have to leave the tunic plain?
As always, thanks for any guidance you can provide!

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
