Hsmworks 20194/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even getting close can be quite expensive and physically demanding, which isn’t possible for everyone. Of course, for many periods making a garment that is identical in every respect to a period garment is basically impossible. The Historical Sew Monthly is meant to encourage research and historical accuracy, not fantasy or ‘costume.’ What does ‘Historical’ mean?įor the purpose of the Historical Sew Monthly, ‘historical’ is Pre-WWII and earlier, so no later than 1938. A Victorian sleeve, which was permanently sewn into a bodice, does not. However, each item should be a complete, wearable item on its own: so an Elizabethan sleeve, which could be moved from one outfit to another, counts. Your HSM 2019 item can be as basic or elaborate as you want, from a simple fichu to fill in the neckline of a gown, to a full ensemble from the undergarments outward: whatever you need and are able to do time and skill-wise. Push yourself and participate in all 12 challenges, do a half-marathon with 6, or just pick and choose the ones that fit your sewing schedule. We’d love it if you did all 12 challenges, but how many you complete is up to you. Sew (or knit, or crochet, or tatt, or embroider, or milin, (or whatever it is you call making a hat), or otherwise create) a historical garment or accessory that fits the monthly theme. Every month in 2019 will feature a themed challenge. The HSM 2019 is a monthly historical garment challenge.
