Time Traveling to the 20th Century
Many apologies for such a big gap in posting, but we have been caught up in some time travel. We have been asked to participate in Wings over Houston, air show in October, in their reenactment of Tora Tora Tora and a Vietnam War scenario. New clothes! I made us some black pajamas, so we could be Viet Cong, someone has to be the opposing side. I am also making some boonie hats because the ones that are available don't look quite right. I think I have faked it pretty well and will post a photo when it is done. Also making a Navy nurse's white indoor uniform, pre-WW2 shirt dress type. Got me a nurse's coronet and will apply black velvet ribbon to finish it off. Got some sewing to do...back to it!
