I have searched you tube and found the following:<br />
<br />
Here is a Brit lady showing the proper way to sew on a flat button. If your thread gets kinky, use beeswax on the thread. The little shank that is created by wrapping the thread around gives space for buttoning thick fabrics, and just makes buttoning a flat button easier. Using a toothpick works great.<br />

Another version of sewing on a flat button. Very well done.<br />

One of my tricks is to use a drop of Fray Check on the threads. This product is available at all sewing stores. It is a bit stinky until it dries.<br />

<br />
Recently our 7 Years War (French & Indian War) reenactment group had it's annual meeting. A few of us had planned the afternoon workshop on the history of knitting and how to knit. My ulterior motive was to get everyone knitting, even the guys and the kids. Much later, glancing around, we realized how nice and calm the room was and almost everyone was knitting, including the two girls and one of the guys. Mission accomplished!<br />
<br />
Our project was to be simple slippers to wear inside our sabots or to wear to bed. We have been plenty of cold places camping and warm feet are so nice - I don't sleep well if my feet are cold. One of the ladies had prepared knitting needles from dowels and supplied wool yarn from Knit Picks. Another lady and myself had knitted sample booties. I had plenty of helpers to help get everyone started.<br />

My main source for the history of knitting was Mary Thomas' first book, and I mentioned the second one. Here are links to Amazon for these books.<br />

I had hope to find Knitting in the Old Way, but was not able to. I hoped it would have helped.<br />

Anyway, I explained that knitting is an ancient craft, from before Jesus' time. I started in Assyria, spread to Egypt and then to ancient Europe. Many things were made, not just socks and hats and sweaters. The first Thomas book has wonderful photos of a knights surtout, purses and more. I especially wanted the guys to know that everyone knitted - we all needed garments! there is a great illustration in the Thomas book of a man and a woman knitting. One of my favorite paintings - I hope to get it someday - is "Dreaming on the Windowsill" by August Fredrich Siegert. It has both of my favorite fiber crafts - spinning and weaving - in a historical setting. Perfect!<br />

Knitting was such a skill that it became a guild. People specialized in certain items until certain towns or regions became known as "the" place to get stockings, etc. Some inventions were created, like the knitting looms in rectangular and round shapes. These exist today and are often used to make hats or socks, blankets or shawls. Many stores carry the knitting looms in plastic. One of my uncles has turned out thousands of hats for children's charities using the knitting loom in the round shape. I just purchased a new version of the rectangular version which is adjustable for knitting different sizes of socks. As soon as I finish the knee socks I am working on, I will try it. A historical term for the rectangular looms is "rake". One photo here shows the knitting in progress.<br />

I also showed the knitting spool - a good craft for kids, but I have used mine instead of making i-cord on knitting needles. I plan to take these along on our history camping trips to let the little kids use.

<br />
Starting up again with the pokalem - Once you have the ear flap piece done you may add the buttonhole as marked. I do it by hand.<br />
<br />
Here is the photo of the second cylinder - don't know why it loaded sideways!<br />
<br />
<br />

Next is the liner. Ede stitch to prevent fraying if you like. Sew into a cylinder and turn under 5/8" on one long side. Stitch 1/2" away from the edge forming a hem. Leave a one inch opening for the cord to be thereaded thru.<br />

I am sorry. The last year and a half have been very hard - we lost Michael's mother to cancer and Michael had gallbladder surgery. Micheal is back on his feet, we are continuing on. I also have a job now - working afternoons with ages 4-11 in private school as an after school care provider. It is going well. <br />
<br />
I have been asked to review the pokalem and how the goofy warm thing goes together. I will put links on my eBay store page. Be sure to go ahead and join my blog so you get updates. If there is anything else you are having trouble sewing in my line of patterns, let me know!<br />
<br />
Here is a link to my eBay store...http://stores.ebay.com/A-Stitch-Out-of-Time-Patterns<br />
<br />
First of all, here is the layout.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHSXgd_Nnxqy3y4irvxVJ0zrU_OSWr9bQBAJDgeDrqglIKt3BXY-tnBziAuxpzJlTBRN1tf4KU-ewk0rrV1tRgvyVdcYrcbbi2v4Mu2MGbxI_jpaEaiBrkIzEtbrosye5hb5VVIFY9aoM/s1600/pokalem+layout019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHSXgd_Nnxqy3y4irvxVJ0zrU_OSWr9bQBAJDgeDrqglIKt3BXY-tnBziAuxpzJlTBRN1tf4KU-ewk0rrV1tRgvyVdcYrcbbi2v4Mu2MGbxI_jpaEaiBrkIzEtbrosye5hb5VVIFY9aoM/s400/pokalem+layout019.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<u>Please note</u> that the first solid line on the right is the fold, the second from the right is the edge. So, you have two layers under the ear flap/band piece and one layer under the pieces on the left.<br />
<br />
After you cut out your pieces of wool, cut the liner piece of linen or cotton. Attach your unit number to the escutcheon (brim) in the manner you choose - stitched by hand or with a wonder under iron on material. Cut out the trim pieces as directed. At this time I press all the trim pieces in half the long way.<br />
<br />
The trim is attached to many of the pieces next. This can be done by machine or hand - I would suggest doing a sample of each and deciding which you like. It is possible to stitch by hand and not have much of it show.<br />
<br />
Start by applying the red trim to the escutcheon so that the folded edge shows 1/8" (.317 cm) on the right side. I pin the whole thing, clipping a bit so it goes around the corners and the curve nicely. You may want to steam it into shape. Stitch (I do it by hand) and trim the corners excess.<br />
<br />
Apply the second piece on the back. This photo shows the front and back as it is being pinned. I have a hard time getting that tiny 1/8" to show, my pokalems usually have about 3/16" (.952 cm) showing. (Is centimeters what you on the metric system prefer?)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Stitch as before, trying to keep hand stitches small and sort of invisible. Press.<br />
<br />
Apply the red trim to the ear flap piece in a similar manner, make small clips at corners.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Trim away excess in corners and where the buttonholes will go. Apply second piece and construct as with the escutcheon. Press. Make buttonholes where indicated. Here are these two pieces completed.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sew red trim to the upper edge of the band. Think about it - there will be a seam here, so the <u>folded edge goes down.</u> You can stitch this 1/4" away from the edge - I do it with the machine. Sew the band into a cylinder. Sew the other piece (without trim) into a cylinder.<br />
<br />
Guess I will stop here today - the computer is acting up and will not load photos!<br />

The sleeve trim actually went quite fast. The collar went on tonight, and the sleeves will be next tonight. I plan to get the lining in tomorrow morning. After all the buttons and collar hooks I will move on to Bruce's coat. It is already cut, the tails and collar are done.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures to show you how the completed garment looks:<br />

The website did not work out. I could not post enough pictures to show the garments created from my patterns. I also devoted a lot of time to Fairy Fest in Appleton, WI. I made a lot of product, but have lots leftover. It is going on eBay, Etsy (store name Mom's boxes) and to a toy store in Cedarburg WI (Cedarburgtoy.com)<br />
<br />
Like I said, now back on track and sewing 3 musicians uniforms for "Days of Napoleon". this is the Imperial livery - dark green with lots of trim. I made one of these coats in 2002. That fellow did not come out onto the field. :(<br />
<br />
I will post some photos later of that coat and plates of musicians. Meanwhile, here are some of the coats in progress. Two coat linings are done, the outer wool, collars and sleeves. the trim is starting to go on.<br />

I have thought about posting sewing information on a blog for some time. I would like to post about hand sewing techniques and generally discuss historical sewing.<br /><br />I developed many of my Napoleonic sewing patterns and had help from Kate Reynolds with a few more. I sell these patterns on eBay http://stores.ebay.com/A-Stitch-Out-of-Time-Patterns and my new website <strong> </strong><a rel="nofollow" style="color: rgb(0, 85, 117);" target="_blank" href="http://store01.prostores.com/astitchoutoftimenapoleonicsewingpatterns"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1299812368_1">http://store01.prostores.com/astitchoutoftimenapoleonicsewingpatterns</span></a>. Be sure to check both - the website does not have auction items, those are on the eBay store. Sometimes my auctions are historical garments, sometimes there are vintage items.<br /><br />Anyway, I would like to start things off by discussing one of my patterns that is sorta tricky. This is the wonderful pokalem! A couple years ago I took photos of all the steps of construction. Today I took photos of the layout. First - a couple pictures of the pokalem!Peghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17190407593152393949noreply@blogger.com0
