Re: [h-cost] Simplicity new Civil War patterns
Kay Gagney actually has an online store front. I have personally seen her work at it is rather good - and based on originals. She does custom work as well as ready-to-wear. Her website is: www.originals-by-kay.com Sarah On Apr 30, 2008, at 12:35 PM, Dawn wrote: Can anyone give me a date for these new patterns other than Civil War era? Has anyone tracked down the fashion plates that inspired these to give a more specific year? I'm also interested in dating the previous sets of Simplicity patterns, if there's someone who can provide better knowledge of the period. Someone said the men's pattern looked 1880's. How can you tell? To me it looks a lot like the previous set of men's civil war patterns.

And Kentucky is different than Tennessee. :) For the most part, the same is said about every state/region. Sarah K Wisconsin (but have been asked on a number of occasions if I were from Canada!) Well, if someone is PA Dutch or from Western PA or from South Philadelphia, you should be able to tell, youse guys! KY and TN sound very different from TX.

Re: [h-cost] Re: Introduction
Thank you for the offer. I am actually planning on going to Reenactorfest and staying with my WWII Unit Commander (the event doubles as our annual meeting). I'll probably be running around in my late 1700s dress because I don't get to wear it all that often! I have not attended the event but have heard good things about it. Sarah Sarah, Allow me to introduce myself especially to you. I am the Chairman of Costume-Con 28, which will be in Milwaukee in 2010. I am also affiliated with the ICG Guild in Chicago. If you are not aware of it, there is a growing general event in northern Chicago in early February called Reenactor Fest. http://members.aol.com/reenactorfest/chicago.html I will be there for the weekend and, if you want to use my room for a bivouac for a day, if you come, that would be OK by me! Just don't mind my other friends who might be doing that, too. Contact me out of group if you are. Or if I can be of any other help!
