Dear Venturers, It seems that a new and exciting event is coming up! This Christmas there is going to be a parade, and a group (not a costuming group) I am apart of is going to have a float! The attire will be 1770’s as the theme for the float will be famous figures of the American Revolution. As you can imagine I have taken it upon myself to make sure that everyone is as appropriately dressed as I can manage since I’m the only one who does historical sewing (you don’t want to see the monstrosities that were ordered off Amazon…). Amidst all this my, erm “loyal sewing machine”  has decided to break. Currently it’s off getting pampered at the sewing machine spa for the next month. Thankfully my grandmother loaned me hers! ❤️ So here I am acting like a typical blogger giving my whole life’s story before actually getting to the dress…  ;/ This project was greatly influenced by this beauty here: http://www.sew18thcentury.com/2015/11/a-little-gown-for-little-girl.html?spref=pi&m=1  I g
