Fancy Work For Friends and Fairs


Need an idea to give as a gift to a reenactor friend or family member? Need a portable period project to keep your hands busy at a historic site?
What about helping to "support your habit" or your site by making these items to sell?

Marna Jean has sorted through her years of period magazines to find some reoccurring and particularly useful looking items to please the period palate.

Patterns shown in ladies magazines are often merely drawings of the finished items with a few scant instructions. Knowing that this can cause fear in the hearts of many seamstresses, we will print in the lessons full sized patterns and well graphed diagrams to create a plethora of these loving gifts.

Included are music roll/map case, needlecase for those of poor eyesight, photo frames and cases, work or nursery basket, several small housewifes/or sewing kits, shaving tidy, traveling toiletry case.
