Today I want to share with you a few of my favorite things that help make my sewing and reenacting just a little bit easier. ย For the most part, these items are simple in nature, inexpensive and relatively easy to find. ย But donโt let their simplistic nature fool you, all these are immeasurable in their usefulness! ย I have also done my best to link each item mentioned. ย I hope you enjoy!

PART TWO – My Favorite Reenacting Things
1. . Basket
2. Notebook
3. ย Stockings

7. Handwarmers
As I mentioned above, none of these items are all that fancy. ย But I have found them to be true workhorses and my go to items. ย As you begin to build your own sewing and reenacting tool kits, take note of what works and doesnโt work. ย And while we always want to be as accurate as possible, sometimes a little modern cheat can make a difference between freezing or enjoying your event!
