Costume Plans for this Year

-Mourning Attire - For an activity to honor the Swedish King during the 1700's Gustaf III (We try to lay flowers at our kings grave every year) a gray/silver jacket with black decorations and black lace. I finished the black hat for this but need to start work on the jacket. I already have a black skirt.

Light Weight Dark Gray/Black Wool Cape - To wear during winter and summer evenings.
Summer Picnic Clothing - Blue silk skirt with a polonaise dress made out of blue flowers on a white background with silk decorations and a blue silk hat.

A Bed Gown - For those nice quiet 18th century evenings in relaxed company. I will probably use a light cotton fabric of some kind.

Costume Diary

The Costume Diary is a recollection of my many costume projects.  I will give instructions on everything I have done and what materials I have used.

Sewing Tools

When you make costumes it is essential to use the correct tools.
