Re: [h-cost] Re: wedding in historical costumes -1830s mens' patterns
Hello De , thanks for doing all this research -- I have now done some myself. (looots of other links, and this one) http://www.longago.com/colonialmen.html My still-fiance has pretty much told me that what he would like is the 1790's Frock Coate' 1837 - 1890 from this page, but they are saying on their main page that they (Harper House) have just changed hands and moved and might not have all items ready for shipping. http://www.lostcoasthistpatterns.com/Menspatterns.html seem to carry the same frock, but the e-mail even bounced. At a closer look, there doesn't seem to be that much out there! Everybody is carrying items by everybody else -- this frock for example is by Tailor's Guide, so I thought I'd ask them directly. In fact, I've only found a few online pattern shops which have their own patterns for this period: Tailor's Guide http://www.tailorsguide.com/ (http://www.tailorsguide.com/images/f-coat.html) Rocking Horse Farm (http://rockinghorse-farm.com/ ) -- but they are closed until end of October Kannik's Korner have a few interesting things at http://www.kannikskorner.com/patmen2.htm and of course Past Patterns, but at http://www.pastpatterns.com/men.html, nothing resembles that style. Does anyone on this list have any experience with these businesses? (if not, I'll probably be the first one). I myself have already traded with Past Patterns, and the service was prompt and very good. Even as I'm ordering from outside the country. btw... oh yes... has anyone made any of their patterns and can point to pictures? It would be great to see them made up.

I have used Past patterns and have learned that you definitly need a mock up. Some of their patterns have problems and not always in the same area. Clear instruction has been the main problem. De ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Who licenses or acts as an agent for textile designs
Thanks, will pass it on. If memory serves (which maybe it doesn't), I saw or even subscribed to their journal back when I was doing a lot of weaving. If it's the one I remember, it described a lot of interesting techniques being used by textile artists.

[h-cost] Re: Kinko's Ignorance
We don't go in there anymore--we go to a small but competent copy center owned by local people who DO understand fair use. So I can't tell you if my local Kinko's has people patrolling. But I'd suspect that, patrols or not, if they happened to notice someone copying out of a magazine or other bound object they'd step in. I imagine other people have more extensive experience with Kinko's and can comment more definitively. I've needed to photocopy character sheets for convention games out of the book(s) I'm demoing, have done this on several occasions, and have never been chased down by Kinko's employees. Of course, the closest one to my job is always busy, I might be sneaking under the radar simply by not chasing down the employees myself with questions.

With satin, you are looking more at Renaissance fudging then Medieval, especially shiny satin. Your also looking at winter attire with this satin as it does not breath. Plus you should not make anything out of it that you will want to wear around a fire. If you are in SCA or similar group and if you have a coat of arms the has green in it you could use the satin for heraldic display stuff. Though it would not be material of the 1300s and 1400s, you could make a sideless surcoat. Could use it for a cloak lining. Or you could make a Florentine giornea and/or gammurra http://cadieux.mediumaevum.com/florentine.html De -Original Message- I've already used the sheets to make a simple kirtle. My problem is that I'm not exactly sure what to make out of it. Not only is it satin, but its quilted in sort of a strange way, I cannot find pictures and I would take one, but an aquaintance has my camera at the moment. The quilting is all symmetrical, in straight lines, but intead of being noral quiltingit has some of it sticking up on some of the seams, I'm not really sure how to perscribe it. I have a comforter, pillow cases and curtains. Preferably the clothing I would creat out of it would be in a medieval style. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume -- *´¨) ¸.·´¸.·´¨) ¸.·*¨).

That sounds beautiful, I'm not sure if I have that kind of skill though. On 10/9/07, otsisto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Civil war evening gown comes to mind with this.
