In reply to Maegan Petsche. Depends on where you are in Utah. St. George area is near Cedar City and Las Vegas, which have activities you could look into. In northern Utah check with Old Glory Vintage Dancers in SLC and some historical sites there that might have events to attend.

Hi Nora,
I went to FIDM “79-80 and was friends with a Nora Chavez who also worked at a charity. My friend Nora’s father had the nickname “eagle eye”. Would love to connect if this is you!.

In reply to Dawn. Hi Dawn. Welcome! Although I'm not doing 1860s costuming anymore I do have a couple blog posts here you can search for. These include cartridge pleating, flatlining bodices and a front dog-leg closure. As for other sites, many, many other blogs exist for research. A little Google searching will give you some to start with. I can offer you pattern resources and fabric shops, but other blog/research sites are too numerous to share. Best of luck in your sewing!

Hi Jennifer,
Most of my period clothing is from the War of 1812. I found your website while researching a “new” outfit I want to make and wear. My place of worship is celebrating it’s 200th anniversary this year and in the 1860s it was a Methodist congregation. As I will be leading some “period” worship services as part of the year long celebration I’m hoping to dress accordingly. I’m trying to find out as much as I can about 1860s sewing, fabrics and what exactly a Methodist Deaconess on a circuit would wear circa 1863. (I chose that year because I have a day dress pattern I think I can rework.) Thank you for your valuable foundation garments instructions. Could you recommend other sites so I may continue my research?

In reply to Nora Chavez. Yay! I attended FIDM in 2000-2001. And although I currently reside in Utah, I grew up in NW New Mexico. :-)

After following your blog for several years now for some reason I clicked on “About Jennifer.” It’s great to find another FIDM graduate. I’m the class of 1981. Living in Albuquerque, NM , I was surprised to find one other graduate living here, as well. Love your website!
