Linen and Lining

Hi, I'm Eloise and welcome to my blog recording my discoveries in historical sewing. I have sewn for over 30 years for myself and my children, with varying levels of success. The gorgeous textiles of historical literature and film have always captured my imagination, and in 2017 I decided to dive in and educate myself both in the history of fashion, as well as in the finer aspects of sewing, mostly by hand. I hope you find some enjoyment in reading the details of this education!
