High Quality Kit

Most of the kit on this site is made on the cheap, improvising patterns and making the most of bargain bin or scrap fabric. This is because Daisy is 'frugal'. And 'not actually a dressmaker'.

Jude, however, often makes extremely high quality kit using her vast knowledge of historical costume, buying proper fabric, and spending hours doing detail work. She's very good at it. Here are some of her very high quality kit projects:
