Cat Brules Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I have some period fabric that I would like to have shirts made that would have been typically worn by Western frontier types of the 1870’s thru 1880’s. Can someone steer me to authentic period shirt patterns? Also, if I can’t find someone around here capable or willing to make the shirts, does anyone know of a good seamstress capable of making a shirts from photos and measurements? Thanks in advance, Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegleg Preacher Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 CB, If you are still looking for period patterns, try Laughi9nmg Moon Mercantile. It's where I get mine. www.lafnmoon.com PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider Outlaw Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Longshot Lillian finds many patterns from commercial suppliers: Buttericks, McCalls, etc. Often times you can find the patterns for sale on Ebay for a reasonable price. She just bought one a couple days ago for slightly over a dollar plus shipping. We have a local chain of stores (JoAnn fabrics) that sells the patterns too and you can often times catch a sale on the patterns. Look in the manufacturer catalogs that are on tables in the store to determine the brand and pattern number. Then go to the pattern drawers and "snag" the pattern you want.

Red Hooker Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 ......We have a local chain of stores (JoAnn fabrics) that sells the patterns too... Not that local... We have JoAnns here in NYS; maybe there's one near Cat's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks, everyone for the suggestions. I've copied them and will get busy seeing what I can line up. I have found a few period patterns but have not found anything like the photos of period shirts that I've found from museums, collections and costumer collections. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of actual patterns. Anyway ... thanks again. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 If you could post some pictures here, or PM them to me, I can take a look at the pattern vendors I know of. You might also want to wander over to Belle Alley. A number of us exchange sewing ideas, patterns, etc. You just might find the info you're looking for there.

Hangry Bob Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Have you checked River Junction? Last time I was in the store they had bins full of patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Blue #54399 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 ..... Also, if I can’t find someone around here capable or willing to make the shirts, does anyone know of a good seamstress capable of making a shirts from photos and measurements? Aspen Filly is an awesome seamstress who can custom design patterns from photographs and sew up your shirt for you...she's been draping and drafting patterns around 30 years or more. She's also a Cowboy Action shooter. Her phone number is (303) 434-1204 or her email is jfantom@aol.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
