1840s Accessories: Cap, Bonnet, and Mantle
I made myself some warm 1840s winter accessories plus a lace cap that the ladies wore indoors. And then I went to a farmstead museum.
I made an 1840s dress for the holidays
I made myself an 1840s dress with the McCalls pattern number 7988. To make the dress work for the winter I added long sleeves.
Tallukkaat – Finnish homemade winter boots
I made traditional Finnish winter boots called Tallukkaat and decorated them with folk embroidery.
