My oldest daughter has been studying Colonial New York and will be focusing on the Revolutionary War next. The students have been assigned the task of creating costumes to wear for Dress-Up day and my daughter has been assigned Abigail Adams, President John Adams wife.
I'm in the process of looking around the net for ideas for the costume. Here is my dilema. I have never sewn a single piece of clothing in my entire life and I'd like her costume to look as authentic as I can get it. Can anyone give me pointers and maybe some ideas. I'm clueless on how to make any clothing. I'm even hoping this will give me motivation to possibly start making clothes for the girls so they have some stuff made by me. I hope you can help.
Thanks...
