Little boy clothes from the 1860s

My little brothers Daniel and Joshua got to wear their “new” clothes to the reenactment in Payon last April. (more pictures on my blog!) Daniel (the older one, with longer hair and pants) helped sew his outfit on my c. 1920 treadle sewing machine! Joshua wore Daniel’s old out-grown outfit. More description on the way!

Nissa dress

This is Nissa. She lives in a small country in Africa in an orphanage with about 19 other children. Nissa is a Heavenly Princess, but she doesn’t get to dress like one.

This is the Nissa dress. Every cent earned from the sale of dresses made in this style will go to help Nissa and the other children who live with her. My goal is not only to offer this dress in doll sizes, but in girls’ sizes as well. Each dress will be made in the same general style (halter top, long, full skirt, elastic waist) but will be one-of-a-kind in fabric and embellishments.

My Twinn dress with Silk Ribbon Embroidery

Inspiration: Silk ribbon given to me by a friend and all the beautiful silk ribbon projects I’ve seen
