I will never make stirrup pants but the other patterns are useful simple easy to modify basics shapes of the time period. More for the casual sewer not a period enthusiast . Great book to have if you want a fun easy weekend project. I have been sewing since I was11 and even took some fashion design classes but I still enjoyed the book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good Sewing Guide for Historic LooksBy Kindle CustomerIf you like period clothing; vintage shopping; or designing your own clothes; this book will be helpful. This guide explains sewing and design techniques as well as providing patterns for basic clothing elements for several historic/period pieces. These basic designs can be customised adapted to provide several different interpretations of each... you could construct an entire wardrobe around these classic clothing elements. If you are familiar with the elements of designing and building your own patterns and clothing pieces; this guide will give inspiration and encourage your creativity. I also would like to say I reccommend BurdaStyle patterns historic clothing patterns as being period appropriate farby for those who are into historical reenactment and/orjust love a particular historical period and wish to have clothing from that era!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. More Modern than VintageBy Kindle CustomerIts more 60s-90s; though there are at least one pattern for each decade. The book is well written. Just wish it would have been more forthcoming with 1900-40s clothes.
