Not all historical eras are created equal! I've spent the last 2 years sewing different historical eras for the very first time, and learned firsthand which eras are great for beginners, and which ones will frustrate you beyond belief!

In this video, I've organized a tier list and will be ranking each historical era based on how easy they are for a complete beginner to start out with! I'll break each era down, talk about their availability, yardage requirements, undergarment requirements, and go into detail about what makes them easy or difficult for a very first project.

If you'd like more videos that are geared toward the beginning costumer, you can check out my playlist here:    • Historical Costuming for Beginners
