Last week several of our members got together to run a sewing session to work on various projects at a local Episcopal Church (the Yankee version of the Church of England). It was also a good opportunity to see each other again and catch up during the slow winter months.
Most of the projects being worked on were for our American Revolution and 1830s Victorian impressions. The Lance Corporal cut out all the parts for a new uniform coat while our ladies worked on their dresses and petticoats. Buttons and badges were the business of the day for one gentleman while another worked on hand sewing a linen haversack in which to store rations. The captain finished off some Victorian forage caps, bearskin badges, altered trousers, and provided the lunch for the occasion.
