I did not purchase the book however, so I don’t have the pattern, but I may be rethinking that decision now. You did a stunning job with it.<br /><br />Hyacinth<br /><a href="http://www.krwlawyers.com/_start_hail-damage-claims-san-antonio-tx.php" rel="nofollow">Ketterman Rowland & Westlund</a>Hyacinth Mariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01544758136198279015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-1746309639403695632017-02-09T03:04:06.316-05:002017-02-09T03:04:06.316-05:00I can't wait to read this to my 2 year old son...I can't wait to read this to my 2 year old son.

Right now, we're a small group, but as soon as that whole regency thing dies down, I'm sure our sub-genre will take off. (That was tongue-in-cheek for those who don't have a sense of humor.)<br />MaryJeanAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428581933097911371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-8351829047760459862016-10-25T23:04:52.144-04:002016-10-25T23:04:52.144-04:00Thanks so much for this review--Alden O'Brien ...Thanks so much for this review--Alden O'Brien here with google account nickname posted, sorry! so glad it's been helpful--hope you can come see the exhibit before it closes April 29! And Gail--Actually partly true perhaps your ancestors depended partly on homespun but it's prevalence is greatly overstated by historic mythology (see Laurel T Ulrich's Age of Homespun)...but as I discuss, fabrics at every price point were imported, from earliest colonial era on, -and inventories show not even a majority of households had spinning and weaving equipment--no one could have been entirely dependent on their own production to clothe their families.

The author doesn't want Americans importing Birmingham buttons (which were fancy indeed!), but he doesn't seem to object to the imported fabrics with which the rest of the garment is made. Leather pockets certainly would be more useful, too, wouldn't they? Still, I wonder if it would really have made that much difference; a pocket uses comparatively little fabric. But a great quote - thanks for sharing. :)Isabella Bradford/Susan Holloway Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997375216314200469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-44242143416827476862016-10-25T15:03:51.986-04:002016-10-25T15:03:51.986-04:00I actually think more people didn't have the m...I actually think more people didn't have the money to purchase goods that made lovely clothes. I think they wore homespun and linen no silk of satin. I know my family was in the united states then fighting for freedom and pretty sure they did not have the money for fine clothes.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620626011234510409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-19439586477659250372016-10-25T09:45:12.562-04:002016-10-25T09:45:12.562-04:00An interesting bit on this from 1789 -- see the le...An interesting bit on this from 1789 -- see the letter headed "Winter clothes" at https://books.google.com/books?id=N3UEAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA359Karenhttp://www.larsdatter.com/18cnoreply@blogger.com
