Playclothes Friday: Early man's Tuxedo jacket with tails

Hello everyone.
It's a good morning today, yay marriage!
But onto a much less important thing, repairing vintage clothes!

1890s corset cover repair.

Hello lovely people.
Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been scrambling with so many other projects and just trying to stay afloat.

I haven't been sewing much for myself lately, but I have been doing a lot of mending, repairs, and sewing for others.

I will be posting a slew of vintage repairs that I have been doing for Playclothes, including sheering of some great Tiki dresses.


Right now I have this lovely antique corset cover that was in need of some delicate repairs.

Cool Vintage Things on the Internet (CVTotI)

This week on CVTotI I have a great Flickr feed of African American portraits from the mid 1800s.


Its by the same Flickr User, Black History Album. I've posted some of their albums before. They have some great collections.

Remember, if you have any cool links you'd like me to share, just email them to me and Ill post them.
Thanks!!
