This week our featured Shop of the Week is MantuaMakerPatterns. Deb Salisbury is the one women entrepreneur behind this Etsy shop. To quote Deb about herself and her shop:
I am a costume historian and pattern maker. The Mantua-Maker is a historical clothing sewing pattern company, specializing in women's clothing since 1993. All patterns are multi-sized, and are based on actual garments, pattern drawings, or engravings and photographs made during the time the garment was worn.
Here are some of my favorites, please pop by her shop and pick out your favorites.
This would make an excellent night dress or prairie dress, just pick your fabric to change the look.
