Since in period both boys and girls dressed in unisex attire ...Mr. Roberts we figured perhaps we'll try to let the children play with each other if they'd like and you and Brig approve. :lol: We are also making the lad a few pairs of slops and shirts as well.

and smaller clothes means easier and faster sewing!!! and use of the scraps you have left over frmo big pirate accesories and such----

does anyone know if they ever backed their linen stuff with wool so that it could be reversible?{ and more warm}

and even thinking that smaller peices could be pieced/ whole cloth and backed with wool scraps for blankets.....for the youngens---

and--- i have noticed in some period art work---> pillows--- guessing they stuffed them with feathers---

i cannot conclude ANYTHING except that people back then used their creative powers to make what was necessary out of what they had! any who agree?

A lot of infants clothes were also made from wool flannel for cold weather wear and also would have worn the linen shifts underneath them ...and yes they were pretty damned resourceful ...and frugal

:lol: !!! Now THAT is adorable. She's so cute you'll have everyone saying...."Look at the cute pirate baby"...

and as Callenish mentioned about the unisex clothing for children (unbreached boys until 4 or 5) this just adds another period correct element for the encampments.

Aye Constance but "embellishing the camp" just by the efforts of you and Silas is a lot of hard labour at least on your part :rolleyes:;) the kids usually take to it when you show them the paintings of the time period and tell them they get to play dress up
