Medieval Sewing Made Easy - How to Sew Medieval Fabric Buttons

In this episode we cover a method of sewing 14th century style fabric buttons from woollen broadcloth. This would be essential to the production of any fitted garments in a 14th century style, such as kirtles, cotehardies, hoods and jupons. Long sequences of fabric buttons on garment openings are characteristic of 14th century fashion. This technique can also be used in recreating late 13th and early 15th century garments.
