A great shots of the full Royal Navy Lieutenant's uniform I just finished being used this weekend at the Sullivan's Island event in South Carolina. All cloth is from Kochan-Phillips and buttons from Roy Najecki.

Finished at the 11th hour (it actually is 11:30pm at the time of posting) just in time for an event in Charleston, South Carolina this weekend. This one is also bittersweet as it will be the last project I'll really be able to do before I start at Colonial Williamsburg as all my fabrics, tools, and notions are packed up and ready to move.

Royal Navy Lieutenant uniform coat circle 1770s. 100% handsewn with Kochan and Philips superfine wool broadcloth and lined in shalloon with buttons from Najecki.

Im feeling like Batman right now because the Joker has returned!

I made this 5th Virginia coat 5 years ago but forgot to take into account the stature of the customer was a bit shorter so I have altered it and took off a good 6 inches off the bottom, took out the pocket and sealed it up with material from the cut off bottom

I got to wear my new officers uniform up at the Fort Buenaventura rendezvous. So much more fun to see clothes being worn that on the mannequin.

Finished last night. Continental officer's uniform coat. Generally officers uniforms of the Continental army were plain but made of higher grade cloth since they were private purchased but a few that I've seen in paintings and miniatures had a trim of sorts on their coats.

This is made with blue broadcloth from Wm. Booth, Draper at the Sign of the Unicorn, scarlet superfine broadcloth and silver plated buttons from Najecki, the lining is leftover from a previous project and I believe it came from Burnley & Trowbridge Company. The epaulette I had actually made like 5 years ago now it has a shoulder to call home. I based this off of a miniature of a Continental officer and took some details from the Gansevoort uniform that is in the Smithsonian

I got to teach my first sewing class yesterday for the Colonial Heritage Foundation. It was about shirts of the 18th century and then we got to work on shirts and shifts for some folks. I took my 1816 shirt to show the difference between it and shirts of the Revolutionary War era and along with that I had my original 1770s waistcoat and an original piece of linen with some nice delicate embroidery.
