In the world of historical costuming there exist a continuum from those who want to create costumes that look historical and are made using historical fabrics and methods, all the way to those who create costumes that are only reminiscent of a particular historical period. I will be using photos of things I have made over the last few years in discussing the following techniques: slashing and pinking, quilting and trapunto, adding beads, pearls and metallic decorations, stitching, embroidery, couched cording, and buttons.

The basic premise of applique is simple; cutting a shape out of one fabric and sewing that shape onto another fabric. But what materials do you use? What are you going to do with the edges? Do you want to hand sew or machine sew it? What do you do to stop the fraying edges? Do you want a three-dimensional effect?
