Re: [h-cost] German or Dutch headdress web page
Sorry to bother you with a vague, rambling and inarticulate question, but I'm going nuts. I know I've seen a web page on how to make a certain style of headdress which is basically a white linen tube with the front edges flipped back to frame the face -- kind of like the Dutch folk costume style, but earlier. I can't seem to find the web page, and I can't even remember what the date/location was for the headdress. (I need it for a fantasy application, so it doesn't matter to me.) Does this ring a bell for any of you guys? http://theflemishgirl.livejournal.com/ Yu could try asking here, go back one page you'll find a few pictures of a flemish headdress. I've made two headdresses of Cleves/Cologne: http://costumes.glittersweet.com/sca/k/2cleveshat.htm and a linen version: http://costumes.glittersweet.com/sca/k/3cleves.htm As mentioned I wasn't too happy with my final result, but that was as much to do with feeling like the Flying Nun as not being satisfied with shape and materials. No idea if any of these are what you are after. Michaela de Bruce http://glittersweet.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[h-cost] German or Dutch headdress web page
Thanks, Michaela, that first link looks like it might be the right seamstress, if not the right web page. And, by the way, the link from your linen Cleves page to the documentation page seems to be broken. Thanks!

[h-cost] Book inventory software question
In February there was a discussion about using software about getting information about published books into an inventory from websites. One, mentioned by Kimiko, was Book Collector, where you enter the ISBN number and the software does the research using amazon.com for example. There was another program mentioned where you type in the book title, but I didn't keep the information for some reason. Can anyone tell me what that program is called? Are these two programs, and any others that people have tried for both Mac and PC? I've been trying to write down the information on my inventory of costume and sewing books, but it's taking forever – three nights of work and I only have about 75 of the books listed. And then I'll have to transfer from hand-written forms to software. TIA LynnD ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Straw Boater or Bowler Hat
I found some beauties on Ebay for under $35. All manner of styles, including several from the teens. angela - Original Message - From: REBECCA BURCH [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: h-costume@mail.indra.com Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 6:18 PM Subject: [h-cost] Straw Boater or Bowler Hat Would anybody know of a good source for a reasonably priced Straw Boater or Bowler Hat? My father recently joined a barbershop group and would like to have one (either or - doesn't matter). He is not dedicated enough to need one of the $100 ones that all seem to be imported from Italy, but he definately needs better than the $5 Halloween costume. Under $50 would be my preferance.

Re: [h-cost] Book inventory software question
Im sharing this information with the group in the hopes that it will interest or help someone else who is in the same point that I am - I've bought two of the same Dover books twice because I didn't remember I already had it. I'm also hoping someone has used some of the software out there and can give me some feedback. If no one else is interested, I'll take the conversation private. Thanks for the input, Kimiko. I looked up Book Collector on your second recommendation; they didn't show up on my first Google of the topic. They look pretty good, but I've already got 75 books written up; with Book Collector's free 100 demo, but I may try it anyway. I checked into Readerware and that looks pretty interesting. They have a bundle of 3 products, one for books, one for CDs and one for DVDs/VHS/Laser disks, all for $75. I think it would pay for itself fairly quickly. Collectorz.com Book Collector also has a 100 book demo and has software for music and movies too. I didn't realize how much there is out there. If anyone has used any of these products, please let me know. Thanks, LynnD On 7/20/06, Kimiko Small [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi LynnD. I like Book Collector, and someday when I get close to the number of books for the paid version I will pay for it. That is getting close. And it does do Macs. This is from their web site. This organizer software runs on Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP and Apple Mac OS X 10.3 and higher. Unfortunately for those running Linux, they have no plans to have a compatible program. There are other programs, and one is actually an online library system. I don't remember the name of it, or where it is located, and can't seem to google it for some reason. Must not be using the right terms. Kimiko ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Charging for sewing
Dear Listees, I have been asked by some folks to make some costumes for them. Problem is, I've only worked in community theatre before and that doesn't pay anything (about $300 per show). For those of you that do sewing as a business, how much do you charge for sewing? Do you charge by the job or the hour? Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. Sharon C.

Re: [h-cost] Charging for sewing
I charge by the hour. The problem is doing a proper estimate beforehand. I almost always underestimate.
