Another project I finished earlier this week was a surprise for my wife for our 1 year anniversary. I got this as a kit from Penny River on Etsy and would highly recommend getting a kit from them. They included a handwritten note and packet of polinating plant seeds to help out the bees

Another project finished today. A soldiers shirt using one of the patterns from the Sign of the Golden Scissors booklet of 18th century men's shirts. 100% handsewn. I actually like making shirts more than anything. If I could start over and just specialize in making shirts I would.

It's only fair I get to make something for myself every once in a while. This 1770s coat was just finished and I'm calling it my Watermelon coat. It is 99% handsewn (sleeve linings are the only thing machined), made of wool from Hamilton Dry goods, lined with a wool stuffs (which I dyed) and a silk/linen blend. Buttons are from Najecki.
