New Pictures...

Here is the front of the coat...
Here is the back...

Here is about half way through finishing the pants...

And here they are all done, except the buttons,
which I do have done now.

Now I have a few more items to make for the guys, and then it is on to the girls new clothing...yea, much more fun stuff to make.

Cari, I'm really impressed! And that was a TALL order!

I'm wondering where you find these patterns and how much altering you have to do?? where did you learn to sew?

Milah,

I have found most of my patterns through catalogs that specialize in re-enacting for the guys clothes and then for us girls I have been able to buy some at joann fabrics as well. I have to add length to everything I make Dwayne, and some small alterations for Brighton.

I actually learned to sew making quilts. Dwayne started asking me to make him some paintball clothes years ago, and then when we got into re-enacting this last year, I made all of our clothes. I am not really that good at clothes, I just get in there and try to do the best I can. I am still learning with clothing, and I have a hard time understanding patterns.
