I used to make my clothes for when I tagged along with John Lilburn's Regiment of Musket and Pike, English Civil War re-enactors in the English midlands - quite close to Naseby - there was a battle there. My grandmothers were both very able makers, but my mother was not, so if I wanted anything made then I had to do it myself
Anne the Pleater :ootd:
I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
-- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.
