Embroidery

When I offered to repair a friend's shirt that had a large hole in the side, he asked me if I could embroider a stag on it as well. This is a very unconventional way to repair torn clothing, but it is unique and fit exactly what the owner wanted. I'm not good at embroidery, so it took a long time. The fabric is very thin, sheer polyester and did not show markings very well, but I managed to draw the outline with a pencil. Then, I used a chain stitch to embroider the design with standard cotton embroidery thread. I added the arrows freehand. I also repaired or replaced some of the original embroidered designs on the front as this much-loved shirt has seen years of wear and tear.

    I really enjoyed reading this blog about embroidered tunics and how versatile they can be for different occasions. I recently came across a lovely lavender poly georgette embroidered tunic that has a beautiful, subtle design perfect for summer gatherings or even casual outings. It made me appreciate how embroidery can add such a refined touch to simple outfits. Thanks for sharing these styling ideas — they’re so helpful!

18th Century Hunting Shirt

Image
This hunting shirt is the first that I've tried to make. It went very well because I had help from an expert, but there were some small issues that I'd like to record for future reference. I entered this project in the Historical Sew Monthly ( http://thedreamstress.com/the-historical-sew-monthly-2015/ )  for September, so I'll start with the information for the challenge. The Challenge: Color Challenge Brown Fabric:100% linen, unbleached tow linen shirting Pattern: None--I used Neal Hurst's thesis, "Kind of armour, being peculiar to America: The American Hunting Shirt" (https://www.academia.edu/3336557/_kind_of_armour_being_peculiar_to_America_The_American_Hunting_Shirt), images including "The Surrender of General Burgoyne" by John Trumbull (http://www.aoc.gov/capitol-hill/historic-rotunda-paintings/surrender-general-burgoyne), and input from my sewing advisor. Year: 1770's, though it can be used for about 1750-1800 ...

Red's Square-Cut Shirt

Image
I have a good friend who is a Civil War reenactor, like me. He asked me to make a basic shirt for him using a sheet. It's a printed cotton/polyester blend. The printed plaid is very close to the grainline, but not quite, so the plaid looks crooked in some places. I cut most of the pieces following the grain of the fabric, not the printed lines. I am entering this project in The Historical Sew Monthly ( http://thedreamstress.com/the-historical-sew-monthly-2015/ ). Here's the finished product: This shirt is the basic square-cut type used for many centuries in Western cultures, with certain features typical of the mid 1800's. I referred to "1850's Civil War Men's Shirt Pattern" at http://worldturndupsidedown.blogspot.com/2012/10/1850s-mens-shirt-pattern.html and "Making a Shirt" at https://teainateacup.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/my-mr-knightley-making-a-shirt/ . I reduced the size of the shirt significantly to be ...

18th century Garsault shirt

Image
Last month, I wrote about researching an upcoming shirt project. Well, I made the shirt a few weeks ago, and I am so happy with it! I used Garsault's instructions from L'art du tailleur , which La Couturiere Parisienne graciously shared on http://www.marquise.de/en/1700/howto/maenner/18hemd.shtml. I followed these instructions pretty closely since I am not yet familiar enough to sew on the fly, but I would really like to study several original shirts. La Couturiere Parisienne made the instructions very easy to follow, but there is a feature of Garsault's approach that I and my customer both disliked. The neck gusset is set into the shoulder strap instead of the shoulder strap. I'll illustrate with pictures below. It's fine for now, but next time I'll do it differently.  Narrow rolled hem edge on the neck slit, plus the reinforcement heart as per Garsault's version The neckline is stroke gathered to the collar, while the neck gusset and shoul...
