This has primarily been a business of Civil War Era custom sewing with personalized service where your satisfaction is always guaranteed. Now, online, I also would like to offer garments and accessories ready made, both new and gently worn, to help make achieving a period look a little easier and more affordable.

Many styles, sizes, and accessories are in the works and will be added. I hope you will put me in your "Favorite Places" and visit often! Looking for a specific item or have a question? Feel free to email me at sewlongago@aol.com,

Warmest Regards,

A Special Thank You!

These inaugural pages represent the culmination of a dream several years in the making and have been a labor of love in many ways. My love for dressmaking, fabrics and research of the Civil War Era has evolved from simple hobby to small business thanks in no small part to the love, support and encouragement of many dear friends! I thank God for each one of them, for my husband and family and for the great privilege of being able to do something I really enjoy.....to appreciate and participate in the creation of beautiful things! I think it may be one way He brings healing and wholeness to a war-torn world.

He Has Made Everything Beautiful In Its Time...Ecc.3:11
