'Have you been thinking about sewing an 18th century wardrobe (or a history bounding one)? Are you getting into hand sewing? Join us for our Historical Sew Along Series!   Welcome to another Sew Along!  In this sew along we are tackling what was considered underwear for the 18th century man: shirts.  The shirt served as the inner most garment and was worn throughout history to protect the outer clothing from the dirt and oil of the body.  Most commonly made of bleached, unbleached, checked & sometimes striped linen fabric, it was constructed of simple rectangles and squares and sewn using the sempster or seamstress\'s best stitches to withstand repeated washings.    Our companion pattern size S/M - 4X/5X: (we added an extra size!) https://burnleyandtrowbridge.com/collections/digital-patterns/products/mens-shirt-pattern Fabric & Notion requirements : https://burnleyandtrowbridge.com/collections/shirt-sew-along Note: S/M to 3X requires 2 3/4 yards of 56-60 inch wide fabric 4X/5X requires 3 3/4 yards of 56-60 inch wide fabric  Use our hashtag #showyourshirts and tag us in social media!  In Part 1 we will: Acquaint you with the shirt, how it was worn, and why. Tell you about the typical textiles used and what tools and notions you will need to make your shirt Take measurements* and select pattern pieces Pull threads and cut out our pieces Label them all so you don\'t get confused later! (Toot Toot! Lots of stitching ahead!)  *Be mindful when taking the neck measure that you are measuring around the base of the neck as it angles slightly to the hollow of the throat (where your neckband will rest when your shirt is done.) This measurement is slightly longer than just measuring the girth of the neck when taken parallel to the ground.
