Our Ancestors Weren’t Stupid – Sewing Techniques

Our Ancestors Weren’t Stupid – Sewing Techniques Don’t be like me and assume that because you have been sewing for most of your life, have competed in sewing competitions, or have even judged sewing competitions that you know better than the 19th century dressmakers and seamstresses! You may find yourself, like me, humbled real quick when you realize exactly WHY they did the things they did. Even if their techniques wouldn’t fly in “professional” sewing circles today, they had very good reasons for doing things the way they did and the more I learn, the more I find that their way actually in most cases is better or at least just as good as what we do today. #livinghistory, #victorian, #fashion, #historicalfashion, #victorianfashion, #19thcentury, #victorianclothing #19thcenturyfashion, #19thcenturyclothes, #historic, #historicclothing, #historicfashion, #victorian #victorianera, #history, #historyfacts, #fashion, #clothing, #dress, #sewing #sewingtechniques, #sewingtips #sewinghacks #sewingprojects #sewingtipsandtricks
