Patterns
Designed and created by Lynne Bury and Elizabeth Rock, our goal in producing the sewing patterns is to provide authentic looking items for the beginning Civil War seamstress with average skills, using simple construction methods and clear instructions. Those patrons with more sewing experience can easily use more authentic methods if desired. All of our patterns are taken from either period magazines or designs based on items typically pictured in numerous period photographs, or original items. We have tried to size our patterns according to modern size charts, but you should always check measurements carefully and it is always advisable to try each pattern in scrap material or muslin (which could be later used for a lining), first to ascertain correct size and fit. As with any new project ... READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FIRST! All patterns allow for a 1/4" seam allowance. Most sewing patterns are multi-sized.
All knit and crochet patterns have been converted from original publications from the mid 19th century. Modern terminology as well as needle and thread size have been suggested.
We wish you well with your undertaking and if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to write or email us.
