Why does historical sewing matter? Why does authenticity matter? What can the “old-fashioned” ways of constructing and dealing with clothing teach us about the past? What can we learn that is relevant to our lives today?
This page is a work in progress, which I want to use to share various perspectives on the significance of historical sewing. More soon!
Join me as I research obscure stitching techniques, strive to create obsessively accurate reproduction clothes, and opine at length about the comfort and functionality of various iterations of undergarments.
