It’s the Summer of 1776.  Independence has just been declared, and the Revolutionary War is in full swing. 

As the Continental Army tries to fill its ranks, people question: “How do we uniform all of these men?” 

Join living historian Sean Lowman as he practices the trade of the tailor and discusses the importance of clothing in both civilian and military life during the Revolution. 

Learn and practice a variety of sewing techniques like buttonholes, cloth-wrapped buttons, stitches, and more.
