About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
Hi! My name is Gaye Clark! I am a 3rd generation seamstress and have been a Civil War reenactor for 38 years. You might say I live, sleep, eat, and breathe "Civil War"! During the reenacting "season" I travel many weekends participating in Civil war events. Sometimes, I am a Lady, but most of the time, I am the Colonel of the 14th KY Light Artillery! Which means that on top of owning two cannons, I must "rule the roost" so to speak of the unit I command. Over the years I have made MANY dresses and uniforms for reenactors, competed in and won many contests on Authentic Civil War dresses, including several nationals, and now I have decided to sew for a living! All my work is recreated using period correct patterns and authentic designs,I also do custom special occassion pieces. You may view photos of my work here as I list them. I will be posting ready made items on my Ebay Store which you may purchase, look up yankeehen-originals as my user id or my "about me" page at http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&us erid=yankeehen-originals or you may e-mail me at [email protected] for a price list or to discuss custom work. Either way I'm ready to sew when you're ready to go! Thanks Gaye
