An 1840’s recipe for Potato Starch: Peel and grate a quantity of potatoes, put the pulp into a course cloth, between two boards, and press it into the dry cake. The juice thus pressed out of the potato, must be mixed with an equal quantity of water, and in an hours time it will deposit a fine sediment, which may be used as starch.” The Workwoman’s Guide by A Lady, 1840 Well, my fellow living historians and I spent last Saturday attempting to make potato starch… four attempts later and we think we did it right. We think. 🤞🤷🏼‍♀️. Tomorrow, we will be taking the potato starch and using it to starch a few petticoats! Come join us tomorrow @bnhvillage to see how we do, and learn all about doing laundry in the 19th century….lye soap included! ☺️🧼🧺. #aimeevictorian #historicalfashion #historicalliving #livinghistory #livinghistorian #laundry #historicallaundry #reenactment #reenactor #19thcentury #19thcenturyliving #19thcenturylivinghistory

In between blog posts, videos, custom orders, museum and wahm life, I try and spend a little time planning projects for me. I’m currently working on an 1840’s look and use a checklist and worksheet to plan out all my details. I shared this on the @19thcenturymembership and find that it is great for beginners looking to create their first historical look! Hoping to complete my 1840’s gown redo today! 🤞🤞🤞🤞. #aimeevictorian #historicalsewing #historicalfashion #reenactorlife #sewing #checklists #organizedlife

Was able to find a quick hour to redo the front part of an 1840’s gown I created many years ago. The front strips were loose so I took them all apart, re attached them to a piece of glazed cotton and will stitch it to the bodice. I think it turned out rather nice! ☺️ #aimeevictorian #1840sfashion #repurposed #historicalfashion #historicalclothing #historicalsewing #victorianfashion #janeeyre #victoriangoth
