Six years!?! It would have been out of style. At least, that's what I would have claimed! :-) And how many men would have cared about a suit's being 6 years out of style? Real examples-- My grandmother made me a winter coat from a Harris tweed man's suit--not sure how she got the suit. (My grandfather was long gone by then) And my brother cut up my mom's gold satin blouse to use for some kind of backdrop on his model railroad. He saw it wadded up in the basement and thought it was fair game. Since the damage was already done, I also used some for doll clothes. (Satin wasn't common in our household.) Ann Wass PS I had a home ec. textbook from WWII--it also recommended unraveling an old sweater and re-using the yarn. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
