Needle-books were an essential part of the sewing kit in the 18th and well into the 19th century. Made at home or bought in a store, they could have simple cloth covers or more elaborate covers of wood, bone, ivory and metals. They showed up repeatedly in 18th century advertisements, stolen accounts, notices for the return of lost property and books written for young misses to further their education. You can check out our Pinterest Board here for some examples:

A "Twist" or "Death Head" button was an extremely common button found in the 18th century. Used predominately on men's clothing it also found it's way to women's clothing on garments such as redingotes, compere' fronted gowns and Robes a la' Polonaise. These buttons were often listed for sale in advertisements ready made, but could be made in the home.

In the 18th century fabric was often the most expensive part of a garment, so the less of it you had to use the better it was for your wallet. Enter piecing! By strategically stitching scrap pieces of fabric to fit the shape/size of your pattern you can get more out of less yardage for your historical clothes.
In this video we walk through how to determine the shape/size of your piecing with seam allowance using the B&T Wrapping Gown pattern (burnleyandtrowbridge.com/collections/digital-patterns/products/burnley-trowbridge-wrapping-gown-wrapper-pattern?variant=39788134662231) as our practice piece, but really you can piece just about anything you want.
Want to try piecing with your modern wardrobe? Experiment by mixing and matching different fabrics for your pieces for added interest.
In Part 2 we seam the wrapping gown using the special "bag" construction method and then finish the gown by applying the neck pieces.

The shirt served as the inner most garment and was worn throughout history to protect the outer clothing from the dirt and oil of the body. It was constructed using simple stitches from squares and rectangles and most commonly made of bleached, unbleached, checked & sometimes striped linen. This garment was meant to be washed rigorously after wearing so durable stitches were prioritized to make sure the shirt would last.

In this sew along we are tackling what was considered underwear for the 18th century man. The shirt served as the inner most garment and was worn throughout history to protect the outer clothing from the dirt and oil of the body. It was constructed using simple stitches from squares and rectangles and most commonly made of bleached, unbleached, checked & sometimes striped linen. This garment was meant to be washed rigorously after wearing so durable stitches were prioritized to make sure the shirt would last.

Note: S/M to 3X requires 2 3/4 yards of 56-60 inch wide fabric
4X/5X requires 3 3/4 yards of 56-60 inch wide fabric
In Part 1 we will:
0:00 Introduction
0:49 Context and About the Shirt
5:43 Fabric Choices
7:14 Take your Measures* and Choose Your Pieces
8:10 Pull Threads and Cut Out
*Be mindful when taking the neck measure that you are measuring around the base of the neck as it angles slightly to the hollow of the throat (where your neckband will rest when your shirt is done.) This measurement is slightly longer than just measuring the girth of the neck when taken parallel to the ground.

Undergarments have been worn throughout history to protect our outer clothing from body oils and scents. In the 18th century this garment, worn closest to the skin was known as a shift (sometimes know by the French term chemise). Made of bleached or sometimes unbleached linen it was constructed simply of rectangles and squares. It was sewn using the seamstress’s best stitches to withstand repeated washings. The sleeve in our hack is made fuller, cuffed, and has open worked buttonholes ready to receive sleeve buttons or ribbon. It is found depicted in art and in surviving shifts dating up to the last quarter of the 18th century.
