While working on my shortgown, I looked up a lot about 18th century hand sewing and different types of stitches. I started a list of sites with information about different stitches and sewing techniques and I figured I'd put my list on here so it's easy to find again later and to update when I find new information!
- This one is an examination of multiple short gowns, not necessarily sewing techniques but helpful. I learned that piecing at the end of my sleeves and corners of my peplum were period appropriate from here.
- 18th century button holes hand sewn here
- Dorset Buttons
- PDF of lots of sewing techniques here. Tells you where they found the stitch used and what the stitch is/ how to do it. also shows sleeves.
- Diary of a Mantua Maker- this post has a drawing of different stitches and explanations for them
- Period Sewing Techniques- some drawings of stitches and descriptions of different sewing techniques
- Annekata- this post doesn't really have sewing techniques but it does have a great picture from Costume Closeup on how to sew with the lining.
- Crooked Tree Farm - this has some links to sewing techniques which I think are some of the above links. It also has links to how to make men's clothing and children's.
