I'm planning on going. Margaret Decker
Since I am not going to Costume College for the first time in like 12
years, because I was going to Pennsic, however? The prices on airfare has
made that almost impossible
So in November? In Chicago I was wondering if anyone was going to the
SCA's

A friend just asked me, can anyone recommend a pattern for an American
Civil War era frock coat?
Thank you!

I've been to 2 of them.
One was my very first ever SCA event, and I enjoyed most of it. (SCA folk tend
to travel in packs, and as a single I felt a bit like the proverbial fish out
of water.) There was way more going on than I could possibly keep up with--and
I still refer to some of the
Did somebody mention effigies and brasses?

I'm looking for a sewing book for my granddaughters. I DON'T want a book that
is just a series of projects, but rather one that is more general reference
book, like the Reader's Digest sewing book, for instance, but more age
appropriate. I'm going to be doing a sewing camp weekend with them,

I was to one of these in Wisconsin years ago. I do admit that I went to
promote Costume-Con 28 and see some friends, but it did seem like a nice little
event.

Since no one has answered this, I will get the ball rolling (so everyone who
didn't answer can tell me what crap these patterns are,cause they are Big 3
patterns ) but I have used this one with success, McCalls M6143. It is a multi
size pattern for kids and adults,has 4 American Heros in it
I hesitated to respond because I don't remember exactly what year/s the
pattern covers, but the Laughing Moon frock coat is beautiful and as
historic as it can be. I just don't know if it's CW-era or slightly later.

If you go to thesewingacademy.org and search for a gentleman by the name of Jim
Ruley he drafts custom men's patterns from the 1860's using period tailoring
manuals. For as complicated as a frock is the pattern he makes will take a lot
of the fuss out of the pattern for you getting you one
I had to make one a year and a half ago, and I ended up using Simplicity 2895.
I was impressed that the seams were in the right places, and the best part was
that the week I needed it (and I only had a few days to get it done), it was on
sale at JoAnn's for 99 cents. Of course, ignore all the
