The sewing room is a mess & being prepped for painting & fancy new baseboards to restore this part of the house back to it's 1918 glory days. All the furniture is huddled for protection in the middle of the room. Wreck the halls! Out in the dining room is Euphrosnia wearing the 1920s Spectator Coat (Folkwear http://folkwear.com/262.html) with really-o truly-o vintage 1920s silk brocade Nefertiti head fabric and red satin lining. This coat needs interior pockets set in before it's ready for final assembly. I have to go & find some black silk velvet for the cuffs, collar and Nefertiti shaped hat and some fabu buttons. I already have a vintage 1920s scarab brooch that will embellish the hat along with some ridiculously long pheasant feathers. The disembodied heads, Anne, Katherine & Charles, are wearing, variously, a Regency bonnet in pleated wool challis, a crown of Evil with a raven perched on top and a "spoon" bonnet. Adonis, my male dummy is naked in the living room overlooking the rest of the contents of my sewing room. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
