Historic clothing, reproductions

Some of you may know that at one time my wife and I ran a historic clothing business. I took on line orders and reproduced about anything prior to 1900. I was actually pretty good at it and loved doing. Just wen my wife and I started to make money at it, i got sick and had those few years of nastiness dealing with a small cancer problem. It more or less bankrupted my business and i was out of it for a long while. But with the slow return of my health I have been toying with the idea of restarting this custom business again. I still have the bulk of my hand drafted patterns. I show some pictures here of a few of the simple items I have been working on over the last year or so. Enjoy!



Oh, and by the way, during that time when I couldn't sew, I was able to keep my mind engaged and my fingers active by card modeling! I discovered this wonderful hobby just after I got sick. A true God Sent activity for me! :)
