Here are all of the pictures and little commentary as I am away from my computer and phone blogging is a bother :/
Here is the link to the patterns I used for the skirt and bonnet. For the bloomers (not pictured) I used a pj bottom pattern and just cut them to the correct length. Elastic will be added to the bottom when they are hemmed to fit the girls. (They live a few states over in Kansas 😉)
THIS is the apron tutorial I used. http://handcart-trek.org/patterns/Aprons.pdf
A few people have been concerned that the fabric is too cheerful and not pioneerish enough. I figure pioneers would have loved such bright and cheery fabric :-)
I love them! Those girls are going to be the best dressed pioneers on the whole trek. I'm sure the actual pioneers loved color just as much as we do. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! Historical? No, but SO awesome. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI want an outfit just like this for my trek this year! I wish I had the skills to make my own like you did. Any tips for someone not so good at this kind of thing?
