Many history buffs, and historical re-enactors like Matthew, and myself love to wear period clothing even when we are not re-enacting! It really is a lot of fun, and I personally believe in having fun with everything I wear. Since these types of clothing pieces are not readily available in stores, often many of us learn to purchase patterns, and sew our own. Would you believe me if I told you that Matthew is far better at sewing than I? It's true!

Now to take it even a step farther, many including ourselves love to continue this practice within our own homes, using fabric to recreate historical styles, and eras through drapery, bed coverings, and upholstery that will co-ordinate with our antique or reproduction pieces.

I would now like to take this opportunity to introduce to you gentle readers Design Diva Fabrics, which is an online shop where you can purchase a wide variety of gorgeous interior fabrics, including discount designer upholstery fabric at terrific discount prices.

These beautiful fabrics from brocades, to velvet, to silks, to faux fur, and much more are sold at less than what interior design companies normally pay from them, and I was truly impressed with the selection they are offering.

Our thanks to our sponsor!
