Hi my costuming and sewing friends! As life changes in its ebb and flow, it has come time that I close the online Historical Sewing School with the sewing classes I’ve taught and hosted since 2012. It has been a great JOY to walk with you in your sewing and crafting over the past couple decades. My heart has been filled seeing your progress, your beautiful projects, and sharing the highs and lows of our creative art.
Last day to enroll in current classes is July 31, 2025.
The School site will be closed September 1, 2025.
Current classes still open for enrollment are:
- Ribbon Trims
- Hand Stitches for 18th Century Sewing
- Bustle Day Dress
- Regency Corset & Chemise
- Dirndl Sewing Workshop
If you are enrolled in any other class NOT visible on the site, you will still have access until September 1st. Simply login with your Teachable account to access class materials. Be sure to save the PDF lesson handouts! Those are yours to keep. Videos are not downloadable and only viewable on the School site within the class lessons.
Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your sewing journey! Many blessings to you. And may you continue to sew and create to bring beauty to our world.
Much joy and peace,
Jennifer
P.S. This Historical Sewing blog is NOT going away! It will be up indefinitely to continue to inspire and host resources for those creating 19th Century costumes – and even modern ensembles inspired by historical fashion.
P.P.S. The Etsy shop will be closing at the end of 2025. Heads up! If you want to grab a handbook like the Corded Petticoat Workbook or others, do so before the end of the year. Thank you for your patronage and support.
