Sort-of Victorian Patterns

[Lady LaSalle]

They are more Revolutionary/Medieval patterns, but some of the shirt and coat patterns for men are very cowboy-esque. Mountain man or frontiersman for sure! There are a couple for the ladies as well that are ok, and out of them I really like the chemise pattern. I think I could cut it short and make a great camisole top out of it. The cool patterns are the native American Indian patterns and the mockessins. WAY COOL! Here is the link for one store that sells them:

The place that I got my pattern from is called Dixon's. It is a VERY cool muzzle loading shop in PA. He has ORIGINAL ANTIQUE GUNS hanging from the rafters in the ceiling------they are all owned by him, and unfortunately not for sale (daggoneit! There was an original Winchester 1873 hanging there that I was just drooling over!) but they are very cool to look at! This place has all kinds of skins and pelts (like racoon and red fox!), and some clothing already made up. Their website isn't all that great, but you get the idea. You can call them if you want something in particular, especially the skins and pelts for all of you who are interested in making and Indian outfit. This is just one more resource for you all!

I don't know how the rest of the Eagle's View patterns go together, but I've made their men's 18th century vest, the long one with the high neck and pockets, suitable for under one's Revolutionary War uniform. It sewed up like a dream, and had excellent instructions. I made it for a friend for his wedding in the same cream-color jacquard as the bride's dress. They looked so purty together!
