Four Stitch Techniques from Herjolfsnes

The document below is the handout I created for a hands-on class exploring four hand-sewing techniques based on 14th century extant garments found at Herjolfsnes, Greenland.

The handout contains step-by-step photo instructions for four stitch techniques found on these garments including:

1. Long Seam Finishing
2. Edge Treatment with Stab Stitching
3. Edge Treatment with Filler Threads
4. Gore Placement
