I was looking through some old "Peterson's Magazine" issues I have. Then I found a few more on-line. I'm partial to fashions of the 1870s and saw a cute coat for young girls in an 1876 issue. I plan to make it for my daughter. I made a mini mockup to see how it would look. Now I'm cutting the pattern fabric to see if I scaled it up enough for my daughter. Hopefully she will be able to try it on tomorrow. Then I have a nice black herringbone wool to make the coat from. This will be a Christmas gift. My son also wants a suit with knickers from an 1888 issue. I will work on that soon.
