For us, Victorian sewing often means buying a modern pattern based on original shapes and doing our best to figure it out.
Few of us learn how to sew at home or at school these days, but how was this actually taught in schools in the 19th and early 20th century?
Well, the manuals for sewing teachers are still out there. Follow along as I attempt to live up to some pretty ambitious Victorian darning standards, with hilarious consequences…
