Living History

[mala_14]

Had a living history event bright and early today and managed to finish my outfit last night at 11:30 pm. Ugh. The event went well though. We had a couple schools come to a local museum where we gave educational demonstrations about Manitoba's Selkirk Settler history. I was at a station with another lady where we talked about what kids wore 200

oooo I love it! That looks excellent!

Handsewn! *bows down*

Thanks! lol Only handsewn by necessity. I needed to get started on it, but my mom needed the sewing machine for school sewing. So I was like, screw it, I'll just sew it by hand.

Nice! Do you have a close up of the print?

[mala_14]

Thanks! I took some close-up pics of the pockets which are made from the same print. That post should be up shortly.

That looks wonderful on you! Glad the event went well!

Thanks Gloria! It was a really fun event. We got to check out each other's demonstrations too and I saw the firing of a musket, which was super cool. Also totally surprised someone driving by the museum! lol

Doesn't it feel good to be able to say something is hand-sewn? Congratulations. I see what you mean about the waist level, but hopefully that's not too bad to fix.

Nice job.

Thank you! I was surprised that it didn't take me forever to make, which makes hand-sewing projects in the future more likely. I don't know if I'll go back and fix the waist level on this one, but will certainly be adjusting my pattern for future Regency stuff. Looking at these pictures more closely, I am thinking that perhaps the back is pulled down some because the front looks like it's riding up. Adjusting that would probably help.

I'm agreeing with that assessment of the fit :-) I think it would be worth it to make the changes, too, just for the record.
