I used to volunteer at an 1850's working village, before Olivia was born. I made all my clothes, even made the bloomers, a corded slip and a camisole. It was great fun. Sometimes I'd take a couple of days to spend in the village making clothes for the ladies. Now Olivia consumes all my spare time, very happily so.
