A few years ago, I compiled a long list of historical costume-related projects that could be completed in an afternoon. It occurs to me that, since I compiled that list, I have encountered (and in some cases tried out) additional tutorials that deserve a place on the list. So here are a few more tutorials for quick historical costume projects that one could easily do over the holidays.
From Janet Stephens's video tutorials:
From Catrijn vanden Westhende:
From Teffania's Stuff:
- How to make Ancient Roman bead earrings.
- And a second video showing how to make a matching Roman bead necklace and/or bracelet.
From Catrijn vanden Westhende:
From Craft Stylish:
The photographs on the page will show you what Dorset buttons look like.
From Jen Thompson, at Festive Attyre:
- A one-hour, 1920's lawn party dress.
- The Downton-esque one-hour dress. This dress inspired the lawn party dress, according to Jen, which suggests that her pattern is rather versatile.
Some one-afternoon garments don't need much of a tutorial, such as my Iron Age skirt. Sometimes it's better to simply look through one's fabric stash, measure, experiment, and have fun. I hope these tutorials (and the last-minute projects I talk about on my blog) will inspire someone to do that.
EDIT: (12/17/2015) Fixed two broken URLs in the list; apologies to anyone who might have been frustrated by them.
