Sewing, sewing, and more sewing!

Posted in Daily life

I don't think I have done more sewing (even my wedding dress!) than I have since we started doing Civil War Reenacting. But I must say, I am really enjoying it!

Over the past week, I have been working on a corded petticoat, split drawers and my dress. The corded petticoat is done (except for starching), the split drawers need a buttonhole and button sewn on, and the dress...I finally finished hand-sewing the hem tape and am now working on gauging it so I can attach it to the bodice.

Kelsey's pattern arrived in the mail today, so I want to get started on that. Oh, and I still need to sew buttonholes and buttons on Kev's shirt.

Good thing we ran errands today so hopefully I have lots of time at home this week to get all of these projects finished before we head off to the next reenactment! I will try to get pictures of some of these items posted this week so we can see what I have been working on.

I have really been enjoying your blog and don't have time to write as I'm getting ready to go on vacation, but wanted to say hi! I love seeing your sewing. Are you going to the reenactment on the coast? We went last summer and it was my first time and it was incredible! I LOVED it! Here is my post: http://tjknits.blogspot.com/search/label/Civil%20War

I'll send you a postcard from my trip!
