  • Medieval Hand Stitching and Finishing Techniques by Lady Sidney Eileen of Starkhafn
    Medieval Hand Stitching and Finishing Techniques by Lady Sidney Eileen of Starkhafn This handout is by no means comprehensive, but is instead intended to be a practical guide to hand stitching and hand finishing your medieval style clothing. Even if you make most of your garb on a sewing machine, hand finishing can provide a lovely finishing touch of authenticity in those places where a machine sewn seam would be the most visible. Contrary to modern myth, skillfully hand sewn seams are not only beautiful and durable, they will actually last longer than machine sewn seams, eyelets, and buttonholes. Supplies You will need thread, beeswax, needles, a thimble, and small sewing or embroidery snips. The vast majority of extant garments from throughout the middle ages are sewn with linen thread. Linen thread is available mail order from some specialty embroidery and sewing suppliers that cater to reenactors and historic embroidery enthusiasts, but for many of us there is no local source. If you do not have linen thread, cotton quilting thread, buttonhole thread, or even all-purpose thread will work fine. If your garment is made from linen, depending upon the weight and quality of the fabric, it is sometimes possible to pull threads from scrap fabric and sew with that. Regardless of which thread you use, waxing it (pulling it through beeswax once or twice) will help it pull more easily through the fabric without fraying and extend the life of your seam. Use whatever needles you are comfortable with. Embroidery sharps or quilting betweens often work very well for hand sewing.
