[h-cost] Rhinestone accents
Hi all, I get the pronged rhinestones with the X on the back from tutu.com. By the way, they are called Rose Montees. (Pronounces ROZ-ah mon-TEES.) She has a huge selection, and very resaonable prices. Hope this helps, Patty Freelance costumer,stitcher and wardrobe, Chicago In a message dated 5/23/2012 2:48:37 P.M.

I have seen that JoAnn Fabrics carries that in the recent past. However, I just looked on their website and I don't see much. Perhaps you can check at some of the large trim companies - Wright, Westrim, Plaid. I know I've seen it on those plastic oval trim bolts on the trims wall. Are you actually finding the sew-in rhinestones you don't want? The ones with the base attached to the stone and four little holes with which you can sew the whole thing onto your fabric? Where?!? I was told at least 10 years ago that those aren't being made anymore and to use the prong jewels. The prongs tear silk taffeta and I don't like the way they snag onto everything near them. Please share your source for the sew-ins. Please, please. I've got some I used on a costume Thanks, LynnD On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 10:36 AM, Land of Oz lando...@netins.net wrote: I want to buy some rhinestone elements to sew onto a dress, but I'm not finding what I need.

I've actually been looking at vintage jewelry for something I can take apart, but so far all I've found is too small and/or much too dark unless I start looking at the really expensive pieces. (multiple hundreds!) Modern formal dresses often have a fake buckle or something resembling a brooch sewn on the bodice front or back, etc. What do you call these pieces? Having a few more search terms to use might improve my google-fu.

Hi Everyone, I am a new member to the group. I am a stitcher/costumer working in the Chicago area. Can anyone tell me how I can get my name out there as a seamstress? I'd like to join a group of folks who would need my wicked good sewing skills. Thank you in advance for your help. Patty In a message dated 3/13/2012 8:27:19 A.M.

So, what's your dressmaker's dummy wearing today? --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com PS. It's ok to run into the sewing room, toss something marvelous on the dummy and *then* tell us about it. It's also ok to tell what's in your design sketchbook, on the worktable, in the quilt frame, at the sewing machine or in the embroidery hoop. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume -- Message: 4 Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:13:44 -0500 From: Margaret Decker m.p.dec...@att.net To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Subject:
