When “peprs” is easier to spell than “tumateos.” At least I think that’s how she’d spell it.

The last container is corn. She trusts me to be able to transplant it.

I love that you didn't try to make it more en vogue with modern ideas of style. So many 20s "reproductions" try to make the garments from-fitting or define the waist in order to look more attractive to modern eyes, and as an historian with an interest in historical fashion it makes my eye twitch, lol.

I've been non-stop sewing jammies for all of my kids. They were meant to be for winter, but we re-did our garage apartment into a sewing room and that didn't get done till last month, so the "winter jammies" project will be more like the "Spring-and-I-hope-they-still-fit-next-winter jammies" project!

Yeah I don't do that lol. I'm very much into trying to construct the garments as close to the original as possible. I mean the 20s dress is like the t-shirt and jeans of historical dress, don't fix what ain't broke haha.

How neat! I'm currently working on a vest and walking skirt combination based off of extant Victorian garments.

That's my project for next year! This year I'm working on a 40s-ish take on Narcissa Malfoy's outfit from Half-blood Prince with matching Draco school uniform for my son, and next year I want to do a 1897 outfit for Mina Harker from Dracula. For everyday wear I vastly prefer 50s clothes though, I just find them the most comfortable lol.

Ohhhh...HP+Dracula...*swoon*

I'm trying to venture into the world of historical-as-everyday-wear. I bought a whole bunch of patterns, split between 40s and 50s. But I don't trust my sewing skills yet! I also want to get my hair cut in a middy, but I am scared of having to style every day. Another thing holding me back is that I want to have long hair when I am an old lady, lol,and wear it in a bun. There is a woman at my church who is elderly and wears her long hair wrapped in a very old-fashioned bun, and she is my old-lady idol, haha. But my hair no longer grows well due to health problems and I am afraid of I cut it now (mid 30s) it won't grow back in time for when I am an old lady!

Hello from the Corona stroked Israel.
To boost your immune system for better response to the virus I recommend to take every day:
1000mg of Vitamin C tablet.
1 Zinc tablet
And 2 tesp of nutritional yeast- rich with B vitamin complex.
All of them extremely important for the immune system activity.

Enjoy
