The handwork in those Victorian and Edwardian clothes are so beautiful. My GGrandmother could look at a dress and copy it, down to the last detail, drawing her own patterns. I used to sew because I had to, and didn't really enjoy it. But now I do like it, especially doing out of the ordinary things, like unmentionables.
Vicki, I don't think we made it to Big Fork, we went from Missoula to Great Falls on one trip. Beautiful country.

Vicki, my sewing got really better when I started reading old Threads and Sew News magazines, that and I stopped taking short cuts. So if sewing is something you would like to pursue, go for it. I sew with an almost 40 year old Elna and a prehistoric serger. Machines like that can be found at thrift stores.

When I think of the Victorian's I think of garden parties, ice cream socials, and buggy rides. Maybe a garden party before it gets too hot.
