We built for Into the Woods this summer - there is definitely a cow, but ours was moulded out of insulation foam and papier mache, rather than using an actor. I believe Jack has to take her to market.

We did Into the Woods several years ago....and I don't remember a cow. But then I was backstage doing makeup and didn't see it all either. My daughter was only a month old then. They used her for the baker's baby in the last scene. She played a boy and loved the singing. They used a crying track since she wouldn't cry when they sang to her. It shocked the whole audience when the princess turned her around and she moved. It was a great effect. I was so proud. My older daughter, age 16, was the voice of the Giant's wife. The first time the idea of using her as the baby happened the night before the show opened. The girl playing the princess handed the boy who was the baker my baby. He froze. He kept saying his lines but he didn't move. We stopped the practice. He'd never held a baby so we practiced. He got good at it. In the second night of the show, Elizabeth did fuss and the princess came over and too her from the baker. He looked so hurt and the audience loved it. I love doing plays, costumes, props, makeup and sets. Let me know if I can help out.


Sincerely,
Rebecca Rautine

Yesterday I got a "review" copy of a brand-new book called "Corsets: Historical Patterns and Techniques". It looks like a great resource for those with interests between 1750 and 1917. (Unfortunately, I don't care about anything after 1650!)

Who's the author?  And do you mind if I forward this to a couple of my
corset groups?

The author's name is Jill Salen and it's published by Quite Specific Media, which may make it hard to find. I've dealt with them because they are also the U.S. publisher for "The Medieval Tailor's Assistant" and "The Tudor Tailor" but most bookstores don't carry their stuff.

Of course you may forward the e-mails.

I've ordered direct from QSM before and they are a pleasure to deal with. Most of their books are worth buying sight unseen.

I see they are expecting Patterns of Fashion 3 to be available in just a couple weeks now.

My copy came yesterday. This is a great book! Some interesting patterns, on

a grid. And some "projects": a hand made 18th century jumps and a machine made "girl's" 19th century corset....with instructions. Even some doll corsets. And some techniques explained. Each corset has a photo, a front/back "spread sheet", the pattern laid out on a grid and some details, like embroidery.
