For a span of five summers, my kids and I were volunteers at This Is the Place Heritage Park (mid 1800s) in Salt Lake City. I discovered I LOVED sewing historic clothing! I didn't want to misplace my research, so I started saving my thoughts, research, and projects on this blog. I mostly help people with trek clothes now, but think it might be fun to become a seamstress at This Is the Place someday when I can think clearly enough, amidst the five kids, to make decisions like that.
I have a lot of links to Elizabeth Stewart Clarks' works, but I'm not so sure they work that great anymore. Sorry. :( If a link doesn't work, you can go to her main site and do a search for what I've referred to for the time being, but most info and free patterns will be found in "The Compendium." Her patterns may be purchased in "The Marketplace."

How I re-create a look:


1. Look at period pictures.
  • Clothing the Saints
  • Earthly Angels
  • Old Sacramento Living History Program
  • Wisconsin Historical Society
  • Forgotten Faces and Long Ago Places, 1860s, 1870s
  • Pinterest
2. Look at period fabrics so you can choose the right kind, whether you purchase on-line or in a local store.
  • Reproduction Fabrics.com
  • William Booth, Draper fabric section
  • Mormon Trek fabric swatch gallery
  • Pinterest 19th Century Fabric
3. Get/make a pattern.
