Historical Sewing
Historical sewing is the use of non-modern techniques in sewing. It is commonly part of dressmaking, but also encompasses artistic forms of sewing such as embroidery. The intention is to limit the techniques used in the creation of a piece of work to those which would have been in a specific time-period.
Sewing is one of the oldest of the textile arts, arising in the Paleolithic era. The craft has evolved as technology, costume, and fashion have changed, and the study of historical sewing seeks to retain the use of known traditional methods, and to recover lost ones.
