Confederate gray wool and twill, delicate white sheers, buttery unbleached muslin, rich dark mauve linen and deep olive cotton scraps litter the floor.
"...there is no more left over in snippets than will serve to make tippets for mice"
as Miss Potter's poor Tailor of Gloucester would say.
Zuave Jackets pulled from the pattern of a riding coat...
skirts turned and re-pleated...
and soldiers trousers with signature "mule-ear" pockets have taken over sewing scene.
