Unfortunately, after 17 years of providing historical sewing content and community, Foundations Revealed is closing its doors. We have gone into liquidation as of 10/6/25.
The current economic situation in the US has had a significant impact on our business and, while we have tried to implement changes since new management took over at the end of 2024, due to falling membership numbers we are unable to continue to provide the content our Stitchlings deserve while covering our costs.
The website will remain live until a formal closing date is announced and all those with annual memberships can request a refund on a pro-rated basis.
We are in the process of stopping recurring payments to FR and the website will close permanently at the end of July to ensure that all those whose payment has recurred automatically will still have access.

ABOUT THE WRITERS
Since 2007, over 100 skilled professionals and passionate amateur makers have contributed to our unparallelled library of articles and tutorials, giving our Stitchlings step-by-step guides to everything from bullet bras to Medieval bliauts, and from tailored corsets to Victorian walking suits.

“If it wasn't for FR, I wouldn't feel brave enough to try or learn how to do the new things that I used to be hesitant about. Bring on those big sleeves and bonnets 1830s, I'm not afraid of you any more!”
