Friends, I have to confess it has been a really long year with a lot of ups and downs. To finish out the year I made myself a nice new combo bonnet, hat, dickie thing from Godey's Magazine and so many people responded positively I went ahead and did a write up to share. Please click on the link , and I would love to see your finished pieces in the comments section of the pattern! I am also looking for some pattern testers for the 1861 overboot (carriage slipper). I've had 2 rounds of testers ghost on me now, and I really want to finish that project in 2024. If you're interested drop a line in the comments section, or just stitch it up and send me a pic! It isn't a paid test, sorry. I am doing it for the re-enactor community. It is a useful pattern that would be new to the costuming scene.

Yes, Valentine's Day is coming up very soon but my mind has already turned to the luck of the Irish and St. Patrick's Day. I come from an Irish heritage and our family crest has a lion trampling a snake. Why? The legend is that ours is one of the families that helped St. Patrick drive the snakes out of Ireland long long ago. Here is a quick little stitch - Lucky Ewe  You can download the pattern HERE May the luck of the Irish be with Ewe in 2022!
