New to tablet weaving! Would love advice/recommendations

I just started tablet weaving today because I've been in love with these belts for a while and I want to make my own for a 12th century dress I plan to make. I had an incredibly DIY setup and definitely plan to buy at least a proper shuttle 😂.

I would love any advice someone has for beginners, but also I have a couple of questions I guess.

Firstly I would definitely want a loom to continue on because my back HURTS so what should I be looking at that's easy for beginners? I watched a video where she had an inkle loom and I've seen some on here so is it worth looking?

I also would really appreciate any pattern recommendations for just forward/backward stuff to get used to putting the strings on the tablets and all.

Which leads into - what are the best sort of tablets to use? As you can see I just used some playing cards but I feel like they're very flimsy.

I know this is a lot of words but anything is appreciated and I am loving looking through all your pictures!

Any free chemise/smock/shift patterns about?

I am a total beginner and I've heard chemises were a great starting point for historical fashion.

I'm not fussed about the period but if I enjoy it, I would intent to make a regency dress or maybe a bliaut, or maybe something more 15th century.

If anyone has recommendations for patterns that would fit for me please let me know. I don't really want to pay for one if I end up disliking the hobby and never finishing it.

Appreciate it.

When are these shoes from? Or based on?

I'm presuming they're some sort of costume (victorian?) based on medieval but to be honest I know nothing about historical shoes, I'm just into the rest of the outfit so I'm curious. This is in England, and they didn't have any information which is why I am asking here.

How common was homicide in medieval times?

Not fussed about a certain century or anything but I've been into KCD for almost a year now and I've thought for a while, god Henry kills a lot of people.

Now obviously the stakes are higher to make gameplay fun and you can kill as many people as you like, but I'm curious what the real life experience with killing would be in that sort of period.

I was just thinking about what the relationship with guilt would be for someone whose job involves possibly killing people - or would in real life it be more like a /almost kill then take to throw in prison/ type of thing? I don't even really know where to look.

Also how common the bandits on the road you end up having to kill would be (and how many deaths THEY cause)!

Food to cook if you can't eat your own cooking??

I assume it's not an original experience that once I've cooked anything, I can't eat it. I don't know if it's because of having to smell it while cooking, maybe, because even if someone else is cooking I hate smelling it (even if I love tasting it).

I eat a lot of ready meals and ramen because it's quick or I don't have to go through the motions of making something to not eat it, but now I'm home for the summer and my mum wants me to cook for the family but I've said I won't eat it if I've cooked it...

Wondering if anyone has recipe ideas for something that doesn't have a strong smell but still tastes nice?
