Forgot to post this that I finished last week. Another hunting frock with some details taken from Sketchbook 76.
06/21/2024
Another one off the books. 1779 regulation Continental Artillery. 100% handsewn
06/04/2024
The wedding coat and waistcoat are finished. There will be a matching set of breeches to the coat to be made eventually here. Made of superfine broadlcoth and lined with shalloon (both from Najecki), buttons from Hobby Lobby, trim is vintage trim bought off etsy. 100% handsewn
05/14/2024
After finishing putting the ruffles on my shirt here also is my waistcoat for my wedding coming up.
05/03/2024
You may be thinking that this looks familiar and you would be correct. This is the same Washington coat but I had to made an alteration to it to make it fit the general better but now I had a chance to take better photos of it on a mannequin.
03/21/2024
Been a little quiet but here's one I just finished up. A 1770s era shirt of blue checked linen from William Booth Draper.
Been slow lately because of a personal issue in which I lost all of my patterns so I'm slowly having to rebuild my pattern collection so I can get back to making items.
01/25/2024
Another project finished. A blue linen hunting frock for a member of the 1st Maryland regiment.
01/20/2024
Just finished up the first project of the year. Coldstream Guards regimental coat. 100% handsewn. This was definitely and interesting and fun project to work on and learn some new techniques. Thank you Gregory Starace from the 4th Coy Brigade of the Guards for helping me through this one.
12/28/2023
Finished up a 1760s frock coat and breeches for a customer. Another one down and catching up on my list. The white threads on the pleats are just for ease of transportation.
11/26/2023
Just finished this up (I currently dont have a mannequin to display it on) but the General has himself a new uniform. Copied from the 1779 Peale painting of Washington at Princeton. It's roughly 98% completely handsewn with silk thread from Burnley and Trowbridge. The only things machined were the sleeve linings and the pocket bag interior seams. It's made using superfine broadcloth and lined in shalloon from Najecki. It is adorned with gold plated buttons also from Najecki

Been a little quiet here but here's a little sneak peek at something I've been working on.
09/20/2023
Always fun to see ones work in action. I am planning on making the General a new uniform here soon.
09/11/2023
Finished this up last night. French Marine uniform 1750s. I don't do French items very often so this was a fun learning experience.
07/24/2023
The best little fabric weight while I cut open some buttonholes.
07/18/2023
Unless I get more orders (which will still be a while, gotta get through that list still) this will be one of the last 1852 fatigue jackets I'll be making for a while.
07/06/2023
I didn't get any good photos of my display from this years Colonial Fest but here's what I found when I started unpacking all my things today.
05/21/2023
Just an updated for everyone. I'm just getting an inflammation in my left eye which was affecting my depth perception and slowed me down for a couple weeks. I've been back to sewing but I'm going to the Battle of Monmouth reenactment in a month so I've been making items for myself so I can fall in with the 33rd Foot. I'm very close to finishing and once I am I will be getting right back to all the other orders everyone has been so patiently waiting for.
04/02/2023
Working while I'm at work.
I'm trying to get better making sure I bring projects with me to work while.i have lots of downtime so I can try and get through all the orders that I still have. I promise I'm trying my best to get through everything as quick as I can.
04/01/2023
Finished today. A pair of epaulettes to go with the officers uniform I had just previously finished
03/15/2023
Finished last night. British officers uniform for the 4th Regiment of Foot. Soon I will have the epaulettes done for it as well Just some of the materials didn't arrive in time. The basting stitches on the pleats are to help hold them in place while being shipped just like on a modern coat.
01/22/2023
Finished last week but wanted to wait and surprise the General with his new neckstock before posting here. Main stock section is made from a shirtweight linen and the tabs are of a linen silk blend. I added the laundry mark on one tab for its the little things that make an impression complete.
01/17/2023
First new project done for the year. A set of British Infantry small clothes c1770s. Made of white wool kersey from Najecki and lined is linen. The customer wanted to sew the buttons on himself
12/20/2022
Onwards and upwards. I'm getting back around to projects and just finished this one last night. I think I'm getting close to have making like 20 of these 1852 jackets. I really should have numbered them.
12/06/2022
My apologies to all those that are awaiting clothing orders from me. I've been having a little bit of a mental break due to my taking on too many orders at once. I am trying my best to get through them all but that is being difficult at this moment. I am still trying but it's just all getting to me at once. I am hoping to be able to remedy this soon and will be back in production to finish up orders before taking on any more. Thank you all for your patience and understanding!
10/29/2022
Finished up a couple projects in time for an event next weekend.
09/27/2022
Haven't made an 1852 jacket for a while and one with Dragoon orange trim is definitely a new one. All I've done so far is the Infantry blue trim so this was fun to do again. Still have 2 more to get through for now.
09/12/2022
Off the bench and finished recently is this matching indigo blue linen coat and breeches. Eventually it will also have a matching waistcoat to go with it. It is only half lined to help give more comfort in the heat. This was done in time to be seen at the Mount Vernon Market Fair this coming weekend. Also going with it is a linen neckstock.
The dark indigo linen is from William Booth Draper, the lighter blue lining and silk buttonhole thread is from Burnley and Trowbridge, the pewter buttons came from Roy Najecki.
09/08/2022
I got my new neckstock buckle from K. Walters, Sign of the GrWalter's, and it looks so good. Definitely going to have to order more of them soon.
08/20/2022
Finished this day, some linen 1770s breeches. Using the Fig Leaf pattern for the first time which are copied off an original velvet pair. The linen is from William Booth Draper.
