Debut of cardinal red cloak and accessories in Snow
Meanwhile I couldn’t help but capture a few pictures of my newest colonial costume accessories, all in cardinal red to buffer the cold, cold snow.
Historical Sewing and Time Travels
Meanwhile I couldn’t help but capture a few pictures of my newest colonial costume accessories, all in cardinal red to buffer the cold, cold snow.
Finally, I have completed an 18th century cloak for myself. To keep me warm, it has a vest like one of the cloaks in the CW collection has.
Taking advantage of the great autumnal weather in Colonial Williamsburg during Prelude to Victory, I took a few pictures of my kids wearing appropriate attire.
Completely hand sewn, I even hand stitched as quickly as I could on the Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg last spring to wear the next day.
I followed the instructions for item #21 in the book, Costume Close-Up by Linda Baumgartner, based on examples from the Colonial Williamsburg collection.
As the sun began to set in the late afternoon, the chill of the air caused my kids to don their winter cloaks, sadly of the 19th century.
