Free Patterns & Primary Sources For Historical Costumers - Sew Historically

This is a list of primary sources for historical costumers – like antique books & newspapers – that I’ve found over the past few decades and that I find most helpful when researching a new topic – with a focus on the Edwardian era.

It's done!

I've finished making my gentleman's shirt (or Garibaldi Shirt, if we want to call it with a womanswear name) and published the full instructions online.

Status update on the 1880 gentleman's shirt.

After discovering that I had cut the sleeves wrong and keeping the project on hold for a while, I've resumed working on it, re-cutting and re-sewing the sleeves.

I've finished one of the sleeves and it's ready to be attached to the body.

The other sleeve is almost completely done, except for the fact that I maaaay have lost one of the cuffs. Tomorrow I'll try to look for it again, or I'll surrender and cut another one :(

At least one sleeve is enough to take the remaining pictures , so that when I'm not sewing I can keep working on the pattern and hopefully publish it in the near future.
