You may remember that at Christmas, Hannah gave Jonathan an authentic ammo box to go with his uniform. Can you see it on his right side? It sure looks good.

Jonathan's Civil War uniform
A dear friend of ours made Jonathan an authentic Civil War uniform. We had bought the pattern from one of the sutlers that came to town last summer for the Civil War celebration but I sure wasn't getting anything done with it. Thanks to Barb, Jonathan now has his complete uniform and is one proud boy.

Ok, now that is pretty cool!!! Where did you all get it? Did you make it, Laura??
ReplyDeleteWe bought the sewing pattern from a 'sutler' who was in town for the Civil War anniversary festivities last summer. We searched for material that seemed like a good match and then hired a friend here locally to sew it for us. We were able to find cool buttons to go on it and the pattern itself had many authentic touches. He bought his canteen and the gun at Fort Laramie, bought his hat online and his dear cousin gave him the homemade ammo box on the black strap. He is pretty happy with the whole set up. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, Lee... I just found the website of the sutler we purchased the pattern from. They are out of Kansas City. Here you go!
