We Were There! At the Battle of Fort Steilacoom

Victoria sewed her own 1860s dress! 
She put something together in a hurry for Karen too, and I whipped up quickie jackets for the boys. Given that I didn't have a pattern or any time, I think they came out pretty well. 

I had the most fun making those flags!  Adobe Illustrator came in handy for the stars and the placement. I don't know if I got them correct, but at least evenly spaced in a circle, and that’s okay for now :-) 

The boys' caps came from the sutler.  

I was pretty happy that the only grey fabric I happened to have lying around ended up so closely matching the hats for sale at the event! 

And Vicky found some pretty headgear. 





It's a Civil War battle complete with guns, and it was loud! 

Pretty as a picture!
