Hi Sis,

Over the last few days I made Evelyn two baby dresses for the upcoming reenactment. They were rather simple and fast to make, and I sewed them entirely by hand.

The pattern is from Elizabeth Clark, and is used for boys and girls alike. I did not make the pinafore, undergarments, or a sun bonnet yet. She is such a spit up child, I didn’t want to deal with taking off multiple layers and thought my time was better spent making multiple dresses instead of all the layers for one. If I have the time, I will probably make a third and a sunbonnet.

A common question at reenactments is, “Is that a real baby?” So I am sorely tempted to put her in this onsie when we are not yet dressed in our reenacting gear. hehehe

Love,

Jamiegoof
