Back to the grind!

In April, I'm doing my first semi-immersion living history event.  I've been doing the "normal" reenacting every since I got into this hobby, but this event is already proving to be a challenge (a fun one) to be as authentic as possible.  My sewing list is growing abnormally large, and I can already tell I won't be able to do it all.  But that hasn't stopped me from musing over Victoria's new clothes.  :)  She's much bigger now and will be nearly three at the time of the event.  I have all of 3 and a half months to prepare them...(and that's not including my own clothes!)

Here is some of my inspiration...

1)  Bonnet, child's, off-white cotton, small checked weave, 1856-1863, 2)  Child's wrapper, 3)  Girls blue cotton sateen gaiters, 4)  Coat, child's, pale yellow wool gabardine, yellow soutache trim, 1860-1869, 5)  Dress, girl's, orange and white cotton, small dot and line print, 1860-1869, 6)  Dress, child's, dark pink cotton calico, lace-up shoulder seams, c. 1858
