Re: [h-cost] Frobisuit (WAS: Busy making holiday gifts?)
Exactly right!! I was running through the list in my head and didn't stop to think that most folks wouldn't know what a Frobisuit was. You can see it here - he's the one in gold/red, waving at the camera http://robynsroost.com/brf07/week7/brf046.jpg standing at the far right http://robynsroost.com/brf07/week3/brf116.jpg His current garb has been through 2 hard years of use and he lost weight over his stay in York, so now it doesn't fit well. My problem is - once again - finding fabric. I lucked into the the tropical weight wool crepe I used last time. Not having the same luck this go around. I mostly like living way out in the country, but times like this I would kill to live near a large city with good fabric stores. Wal-Mart and JoAnn's just don't cut it.

Re: [h-cost] TROPICAL WEIGHT WOOL
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have had good luck finding reasonably priced tropical weight wool from fashionfabrics.com They have been reliable and occasionally have some great sales.

That was the only time I was disappointed with their fabric. That's the major problem with ordering over the internet, you never really know what you're getting until it arrives. And with places like FashionFabrics, which carry a lot of random bolts left over from fashion manufacturers, you can't be sure that anything you are getting is going to be at all what you expect. Any two wools or velvets are likely to be of completely different origin. Some really good deals there, though, if you're willing to take the chance. :) I haven't seen any nice wools in a long time, an I have lousy luck trying to dye anything.

RE: [h-cost] Busy making holiday gifts?
Heh. I think the word may be nuts, at least in my case...or at least biting off more than I want to chew. I can't do multiples of the same pattern - I get bored just doing the same pattern on two ends of these scarves! Every one - if ever ever I finish them - will be different, and therefore I will still like them when I'm finished. G I've been offered goof money for custom pieces, but I find I just can't get into the embroidery if I HAVE to do it. Guess if I'm ever gonna get rich (hah!) will have to do the work first, and sell it later Liadain THL Liadain ni Mhordha OFO wildernesse, the Outlands http://www.flickr.com/photos/liadains_fancies -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 3:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [h-cost] Busy making holiday gifts?

Re: [h-cost] Busy making holiday gifts?
I'm not yet to the gift sewing phase - right now I'm concentrating on getting through my youngest son's Eagle ceremony tomorrow. My folks are headed to a month in India over Christmas, so we had our big family get together this weekend and combined Thanksgiving and Eagle and a couple birthdays. A bit overkill, but given the way our family comes and goes, necessary. I will start on the gifts next week - Promise. I only have a couple things that didn't get finished last year. :-) Then Ansel wants a new Frobisuit for Bristol next year and he definitely needs a couple of new shirts and I need to finish the demi-cape.

But I do have enough trims in my stash, and some usable fabrics. The dresses have a print bodice, solid white skirt, and dark solid sleeves--one is navy blue, one red. The skirt has three rows of assorted trim in white and the color, the sleeve has another white trim around the edge, and each also has yet another trim around the neckline.
