“Patriotism and Practicality: The Civil War Era Homespun Dress” -Vicki Betts 
I left many of the images at their higher resolution so each category will have a separate page to help it load faster. Be sure to view each page. Some items will have 2 thumbnails, one for a printable size image and the other for a large image that you can scroll around on your screen. These large images can show stitching detail to those of you who are interested.

This was not labeled as homespun fabric. It was thought that the bleached out sleeves and spots on the front indicated frequent contact with lye, perhaps as a laundress.
