Announcing 1770s sewing photo journal and quilted petticoat

February 25, 2026

While still keeping busy with some old house renovations, I’m taking some time for my blog and sewing.

PHOTO JOURNALS IN TABS

While organizing my blog, I’ve finally completed my photo journal of my 1770s sewing projects, each with a link to the blog post for more details.

With 60 items, that offers the entire scope of my 1770s sewing journey…so far.

These can be found in the pink bar at the top of the page, where the tabs are.

In the next few days I hope to add other tabs for my sewing projects of other eras.

18TH CENTURY SEWING PROJECTS

Meanwhile, I’ve been busy in other sewing related matters.

I’m currently quilting an 18th century petticoat…which is perfect for these many freezing days with snow we’ve had this year in Virginia!

Another exciting project is that I’ll soon start sewing 18th century attire for my daughter-in-law!

After I complete her outfit, I want to try making little gowns for my two granddaughters, who are nearly 2 and 6 years old.
