A few fall items are posted in the shop

It has been so warm this fall it almost doesn't feel like fall at all! And with this storm making its way towards the East Coast we will have to see if there are any leaves left to turn color afterwards. But it is fall - and we love fall at Whigs & Tories. The mountains in Virginia offer gorgeous opportunities to view foliage changes, pick apples, drink some local cider, and go pumpkin picking. And we've got just the thing to wear!

Working out a Capelet Pattern

We are enjoying the cooler weather - and having fun with plaid flannel - and a pretty winter berry print by Waverly - trying out a capelet pattern we recently picked up. The construction of side panels is nice, it allows the cape to hang nicely over the shoulders, but it made creating a lining tricky.

capes are made for prancing and dancing!

Whigs & Tories still needs to make this once or twice more to work out the kinks in attaching the lining. Once We have it straight a cape will go for $60.00 on Etsy and a little more in the local shops we work with (we have to cover their mark-up) if you are want a cape and you are willing to be one of our experiments we will only charge you for the fabric & clasp: $25.00 send an email to us.

Happy Halloween!

A little Green and Gold

This Flannel print with Gold feather stripes on Green initially looked like it would pair nicely with our Chocolate corduroy with the Christmas Trees all over... and then it was being cut

"oh, William & Mary colors"

"and Hornets"

"oooh! aaah!"

Think parades, tailgates, fall days at the stadium

and so we are making it up with gold accents for football fans and with red accents for winter holidays. Your choice.

Memorial Day brings out the Patriot

It is Memorial Day. I come from a military family so we take the day to get together and honor those who have died in service. Which inevitably leads my mind to the next big celebration in my military family, the Fourth of July. Which also happens to be my dad's birthday. So here at Whigs & Tories we are getting our Red, White and Blue on, baking our cherry pie and feeling grateful. We hope you took a moment today to honor those whose lives have been given for this country.
