'***18th Century Ruffles for Men’s Shirts and Ladies’ Riding Habit Shirts***  click SHOW MORE for links  Come along with me as I attach ruffles to a handsewn 18th century shirt using period correct tools and methods while discussing the research I have done and how I used this same method to attach the ruffles to my 18th century Riding Habit Shirt.  I don’t profess to be perfect at this in the least!  But sincerely hope my experience can help those who are planning to make these garments in the future.   Let’s keep learning from each other!  * Christina  ***Connect with Me***    https://www.instagram.com/shesewshistory/ http://www.shesewshistory.com/ https://www.pinterest.com/SheSewsHistory/18th-c-shirt-ruffles/  ***Patterns***  Larkin & Smith, “The 18th Century Shirt”  - I cannot find this being sold online currently :(  JP Ryan, “18th Century Riding Habit Shirt” - https://www.jpryan.com/details/RidingHabitShirt.html  ***Shopping List***  White Handkerchief-Weight (3.5oz) Linen : https://fabrics-store.com/fabrics/linen-fabric-IL020-optic-white-softened-light  Thread: 100/3 White Linen Thread.
