Technique articles

I have added three new articles on my website: http://www.mantua-maker.com/

The first is Bustle Draping Techniques. It is a set of ideas for draping you bustle dress, and is based on classes I have taught at past costuming conventions.

The second is Period Fabric Covered Button Construction, written by Lorina Stephens of Five Rivers Chapmanry, and illustrated by me.

The third is Hand Sewn Eyelet Hole Construction, just because it seemed useful.

The last two articles are in .jpg form because it took *way* too long to get the bustle article online, and I haven't even dug up any pictures yet.

The photo shown here is from my pattern #1880-20,
1870 - 1890 Apron Overskirt with Waterfall Back.
