This stripy toe sock appears to have warmed the foot of a tot in the late antiquity period

This man’s shirt is made from finely woven white linen and embroidered in black silk. It has been dated from between 1585 and 1620. The embroidery style is a little early for our period, but the construction and pattern of the shirt is still correct for the 1640s. This photo courtesy of Fashion Museum, Bath and North East Somerset Council. The reason I’ve decided to post these really nice images from Caroline Vincent is that they show all those small details that make the difference between a seventeenth century shirt and a fancy dress one. A lot of these details are also shown in Janet Arnold Patterns of Fashion 4, together with a detailed pattern. This is a recommended book for anyone interested in linens from our period. The body of the shirt is made from a single length of linen 38” wide, and about 8 feet in length, folded and gathered into a neck band at the top. The length of the shirt is the first point that makes it right for the period. The linen is finely woven, but on closer inspection, the threads aren’t exactly even and an obvious texture is visible in the surface of the fabric. For a lower quality, soldier’s shirt maybe, you might want to look at a more coarsely woven fabric. The two sleeves are cut from the same width of linen, 24 inches long, sewn to the body of the shirt and pleated into embroidered cuffs at the ends. The work on the shirt is nice, but not top quality for the period and should be reproducible by any modern sewer who takes care and time. It’s the embroidery that is probably the reason why this shirt remains to be seen now. For instructions on how to make a shirt, refer to my blog post. These pictures should be seen as a companion piece. This kind of sewing will take time and effort to copy, but having something nicely made will be the reward. First of all, flat seams. There are instructions online how to do this, but here’s a photo that shows how a finished looks on the shirt, with the fabric laying flat and no raw edges inside or out. This seam was counter-hemmed, where one edge is folded and whip stitched to the other piece. Then the piece is turned over, the raw edge folded under and the folded edge whipped (or felled) down. If you follow my instructions, the first construction point, having cut out your pattern pieces is to insert the shoulder gussets. This picture shows one in place on the Bath shirt. The edges of the gusset are gathered into small pleats and sewn into the collar. This is a view of the neck opening. The edges are rolled back and hemmed as instructed in How To Make Your Own Shirt. Note the single tie sewn to the collar (there should be two ties but only one remains) and the gathers of the shirt into the standing collar band. Next part is to insert the sleeve gusset. This is what one of the gussets looks like. Measuring tape gives you the scale in centimetres. This photo shows the side seam where the opening begins. The shirt has two small squares of linen inserted to provide strength. This is a weak point and many reproduction shirts rip at this point. The edges are not hemmed as they correspond to the selvedge of the fabric. This is the advantage of using period width linen. The sleeve is gathered in tiny cartridge pleats and sewn into the cuffs, which are also embroidered. Sleeves were becoming wider and more gathered even than this one by our period. And to finish off, a few details of the embroidery which is mostly formed in vertical panels, possibly to line up with slashes in a doublet body that would have been worn on top. Some of the black thread has disintegrated but most of it is still there, and where it isn’t, you can still see the stitch marks. All detail photos reproduced with permission from Caroline Vincent.

I love this quote about knitting from Weldon's Practical Knitting: "It does not distract the attention or check the powers of the imagination. It forms a ready resource when a vacuity occurs in conversation; it

OPERA HOOD (Godey's Magazine, December 1856) Materials--Three ounces of pink or blue eight thread Berlin wool; a pair of large wooden knitting needles; two tassels, and one and a half yards of sarsnet ribbon, the same color. CAST on 220 stitches, and knit a piece about seven inches deep. Cast off 50 stitches at each end of the knitting, and then do another piece of fourteen rows, knitting two stitches together three times at the end of every needle. After this, knit thirty rows, only decreasing by knitting two together once at the end of every needle. Now cast off ten at the beginning of each of the next two needles; knit eight rows more, decreasing one stitch at the end of each needle, and cast off. With single Berlin of the same color make a crochet lace for the back of the neck. Draw up the back; sew on the lace; add bows and floating ends for the back, and tassels at each end of the front. This front is intended to be rolled round, and tied underneath the chin. It will be found extremely simple, and most comfortable, not only for leaving a theatre or ball-room, but for travelling. It has the further advantage of being by no means unbecoming. ______________ A few notes on this pattern: This is a good project for the beginning knitter who knows how to cast on, cast off, and decrease. Once you get past the mind-numbing knitting of 7" at 220 stitches per row, you'll be done in no time. For yarn, I used a DK weight yarn and feel like it provided a good gauge and length for the ties without having to alter the pattern. For needles, I cast on with size 11 needles and knitted with size 10. I returned to the 11s to cast off the 50 stitches on each end, switching back to the 10s for the center of the row. Where the pattern says "Cast off 50 stitches at each end of the knitting," you need to cast off 50 stitches at the beginning of each row. Use the size 10 needles. I used a wide, double faced satin ribbon for the back (sarsnet is a type of silk). For the tassels, I used a fingering weight wool to match the ribbon and made two 3" tassels, wrapping the yarn 100 times for each tassel. I didn't bother with splitting the yarn to make a "single berlin." I just made two chains of about 50 stitches with a size E crochet hook. For the brim, I simply tacked the bottom edge of the brim where the tassels attach, putting right sides together and gathering. The rest of the brim simply fold back softly from the face.

1944 Shawl or Fascinator Crochet Pattern, Digital Crochet Pattern - Crochet head shawls are timeless and beautiful and suit any style. Do one in black for drama, white for romance, or any color to match your outfit. A drawstring at the neck keeps it snug and warm while the hooded portion can be worn up or down. Although the pattern is from 1944 the design is far older. This is the sort of thing Scarlett O'Hara would have worn and would go great with a Civil War costume, Victorian, or other period look.
