I’m so excited about some of what I have in store for you this year! I’m gathering things together and prepping patterns to be made into Wearing History Resto-vival patterns from original period source materials. Here’s a peek at some of which I’ll have in store for you this year, God willing.
There will be a WWI era suit, circa 1916, that could easily transition into ladies uniforms with a little ingenuity.

The suit did have some really wonky things done to it, which I noticed when I was prepping the pattern to be made, so part of it is going to be restoring it back to the original shape, which involves some testing in mock up form. I think the lady who originally owned it was very petite, and chopped it off, but the pattern gives original length specifications, so I can put it right back. Since it’s fresh in my mind, I want to get cracking on it first of all of these!
