sewing workshop

[Chasseurs de Chalmette]

The Mansfield State Historic Site, located three miles southeast of the town of Mansfield, Louisiana, will host a monthly sewing workshop. Don Smith, of the Trans-Miss. Depot Co., will conduct the workshops. The first sewing workshop will be held on January 24th, from 10am - 4pm. Each month, the student will learn how to sew a different, more complex artile of clothing, so that when the workshop is over, and if the student comes each month, he will have a complete Confederate outfit. The first seminar will discuss and cover the Confederate haversack, and each student will leave with an authentic Confederate haversack that they made themselves. For more information, or to sign up, contact the Mansfield State Historic Site at: 888-677-6267.

For once, and possibly only once, I wished I lived in Mansfield.

Don, what a wonderful contribution.

Re: sewing workshop

Any thought of making the instruction information/patterns available for people that can't attend the seminars, with any registration fees/cost going to the Mansfield Preservation effort? There may be some interest in something like that, I know that I would be.

Re: sewing workshop

I definitely agree with John on this one. I live in Michigan and wouldn't be able to attend, but I would like to get some info from the seminar.
