A Combo Guide to Beginning Sewing & Authentic Period Costuming is the ideal resource for exploring potential interest in historical costuming.  This is a concise, easy to read guide for quick referencing authentic historical costuming details, and for learning basic machine and hand sewing techniques.


Modern machine sewing instructions are set up as mini lessons you do at your own pace (you will need the owner’s manual to your machine for threading instructions).   Additionally you will learn the basics of hand stitching for truly authentic finishes.


Historical garment construction information includes such things as when buttons first came into use, or when garments were first fitted to the body.  Get proper fabric selection tips, learn basic leather working, and get resources for advanced attire construction, such as for making armor.


Please note this is a beginners resource only. It is not extensive, but what it lacks in depth it makes up for in resource suggestions and ease of use. A perfect, easy introduction into home sewing and historical costuming. 58 Pages, illustrated.
