#HistoricalApril - Instagram Historical Sewing & Costuming Challenge 2020

Yay! It‘s time for #HistoricalApril – my annual historical costuming challenge that I host on my instagram account @lina_sewhistorically! 😀

What‘s New This Year (2020)?

It‘s now the third year that I‘m hosting an instagram historical costuming challenge in April! But what‘s new this year: I‘m hosting #HistoricalApril for the first time! #HistoricalApril replaces my 1920s historical costuming challenge #ArtDecoApril which I hosted the last two years.

What Is #HistoricalApril?

#HistoricalApril is a month-long historical costuming challenge which I host on my instagram account @lina_sewhistorically. -> Follow me on instagram! #HistoricalApril starts on April 1 and ends on April 30, 2020. Every day there‘s a prompt, such as ‘favorite historical dress’ or ‘details’, and you post a photo that fits the theme.

How Do I Participate?

Participating is really easy! Every day you can post a photo or video that fits the daily prompt. Tag #HistoricalApril and @lina_sewhistorically in your post – and invite your friends to participate too! You can post old photos or new photos. And you can share your handmade historical costumes and accessories – old or new or even unfinished makes – and antique and vintage clothes that were made before WW2 (But I don‘t mind if you post your favorite post-WW2 outfit if you think it‘s perfect for one of the prompts.) 😉

I Don‘t Sew Or Own Historical Costumes – Can I Still Participate?

Of course! You can also share historical recipes, hairstyles, architecture, historical tidbits, antique furniture, historically inspired outfits and so on that fits the daily theme.
