#SewingIsHard - 1830s Project Intro

Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/americanduchess Whew! Ok - so it looks like Lauren and I have to make entire 1830s wardrobes from the skivvies to the civvies, and we only have 2 months to do it! In this episode, I just discuss a little history about 1830s fashion, and the projects that I have to make. I'm really excited for this project and I should have my corded petticoat episode out soon! The 1830s have been on my bucket list for so long that it feels good to jump head first into the project!
