What a mess the last month has been! There were a few bumps and hiccups, some lack of communication, and brief bouts of illness. I'm so sorry I've been away from the blog and that things have ground to a halt with the group. We are back on track, however, and hope to see you not only at our next meeting but also at the Battle of Lexington event on Sept 17-18!
If you haven't registered for this event, there is still time! But barely! So head over to the website and get registered! There is also some very interesting information concerning citizens of that era who were in town during the battle. If you have any questions about what to wear (or what to avoid!), please don't hesitate to either email us here or, better yet, head over to The Sewing Academy and browse through the forums! You don't have to be registered to search but why on earth wouldn't you register at such a great site?! There are many experts with tons of information for you to read, lots of pictures to surf through, and answers to just about any question you can think of pertaining to this time period!
The next meeting will be, somewhat unfortunately, after the Lexington event. We will be having the discussion on headwear and hairstyles of the era, so bring any examples, images, or questions with you! We will again be meeting at The Art Store in Warrensburg on Sept 20 at 6:30pm.
Another note of interest: Our group has been asked to put on a period fashion show at the Warrensburg Trails Regional Library on October 15, 2pm. If you would like to participate, please email your interest to llhsjc @gmail.com with what you'd like to showcase.
