And my next project is...


This fabulous early American costume of course! More specifically the one in the lower right hand corner will be made with reds whites and blues to resemble a Betsy Rossesque period costume.

It's not for me; however if time permits I may try to make view B for myself for the same event. I have made one costume before and other than some misguided cutting on my part it turned out decent...Thanks mom for wearing it even though it had it's flaws! I am a bit more seasoned in the art of sewing now so I am certain this one will be lovely!

Off to cut out pattern pieces!!!

Yea! Then you can visit my kids as a period character. WE are studying Colonial America!
I know you are having fun creating. Hope you are all doing well. Miss you,

Haha, that would be fun. Juli is having a Colonial style homeschool party this year so the drape dress if for her. Aine wants the pilgrim dress and I really want to make a solider style coat for David. So, I'm not sure I'll get to mine (with a month and a half to get it all done). Plus I have a few other Halloween costume orders and a pretty steady flow of alterations now, as well as working for the dressmaker. Wow, I sound busy:o) I'm loving it though!
