I don't do much sewing these days, but I have a few must-do projects for the next few months. I have been dieting for health reasons, and after dropping 18 pounds have found that the Gothic fitted dress I use for my lectures is now too large for my new figure. I would like to re-make it before I speak at CostumeCon at the end of March. In a pinch I can wear my last lecture dress, about a decade old now, which once again fits me, but it is not ideal, as it is silk, and I like to demonstrate the effects of wool, which was historically more typical. (Sue C. will remember the silk dress as the one I wore in Boise.) However, I also want to make a sillier costume just-for-fun for CostumeCon -- who knows when I will have another excuse to do it. Can I do them both by the end of March? Don't know; I have journal editing and an article to write, in addition to my day job. CostumeCon info here: http://www.cc25.net/start.htm And info on my full day of lectures here: http://www.cc25.net/netherton.htm I'd love to know if I'll be seeing any h-costume people there! --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
