[h-cost] Period Hair, and Accessories
Yes one of my pet peeves is hair coverings, it is like a last thought but it really is essential to get the proper look. Then there are the correct or as close as you can get accessories that gives another note to the whole. I cosider an outfit like a good perfume, it has lots of notes as to bring forth a worthy scent. So the entire look does not stop at the gown and underpinnings, although they are a good or great base.

[h-cost] Gothic Fitted Gown Workshop, Awesomeness
Just wanted to mention, we had a workshop went very well! Can't wait to learn how to make lacings!! We have Tasha Kelly to No Califormia, this past weekend, I have been wanting to learn the self supporting gown for years, I missed the chance to do a workshop with Robin Netherton awhile back, So I was over the moon that I was able to be part of this workshop, we had a blast, food, intelligent chat, and chocolate, oh!

[h-cost] What Am I Sewing?
I am in the design process for Eleanor di Toledo's Gown, I am finishing Men's clothing for 1560's England/France. I pormised my husband some odd years ago that I would work to make this garb spiffy, and then neglected him woefully so I am now in the process of making all of the 1/2 done things hanging about! LOL Once I am done he will have 6 complete outfits! I had things all over the place once I collected them I was astounded at the amount I had began and then lost or lost interest!

[h-cost] Sewing Machines
I have 5 machines now, my DDD from Viking, Viking 205 and Kenmore (my go to), Janome if I have to fly somewhere, and a Brother XL-5600 I was given. When the DDD known as Myst is embroidering I need to have a machine I can still sew with. The Kenmore was a gift from my husband when my very expensive Singer froze up and stopped working, when I was in the middle of sewing a gown that was to be worn in less than 3 days...you know the drill! I have used all manner of machines now from Yuki and Toyota to Brother and White. I think anyone who is looking for a machine is like an enagagement ring, to each thier own! Try out the machines, Some you might not like as much as others, I love ADORE my kenmore it works awesome! My Pfaff 7570 while outdated could sew 8 think rolls of canvas and then smiled at me! I am pondering how I can get the new Pfaff that is all PURPLE!! Why to have so many? One is lightweight so it can fit in the airlines perameters, another because it is an embroiderysewing machine that I do most of my work on I can attest, Sometimes I have people over and it is good to have more than 1 machine. There is always a need for if the machine stops working, which has happened to myself, Sometimes I am working on 2 different kits and colors so one machine is set up for that and the other for the other project. It depends! Cilean ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] Embroidery Machines
You know? I owned the 7570, it was the best when it came out and then? They did not innovate for many many years, then they were behind the other makers. When I heard thae Pfaff might be going out of business back in 2001 or so? I was worried I would not have support, so I purchased my first Viking. It was not until a couple of years later I found out that Pfaff was actually bought by the parent comany of Viking. But now I am in deep like I finally have doubles of each of the hoops, and since they are not interchangable? I would have to devote more money to get more hoops for the Pfaff. However, when you are checking out the machines...Check out the Embroidery Program because that is the real issue what you like about the program, speak to the teachers who train and chat them up as well, and of course play on the machines.

[h-cost] Fabrics Medieval vs Modern
I have been working on that here in the West Kingdom (Northern California) for many years! I give a class and demonstration on such, So what specific information are you looking for? Like what fibers are still used and what materials? For example, there was a fabric created from Stinging Nettle, we don't currently have this material that I know ofbut you can use silk gauze or organza and soft organza. There are many things when working to find fabrics and fibers that mimic the Medieval look. Then you need to look at your pocket book, because we can get fabrics that are like medieval fabrics but they come at a cost, some as much as $86.00 or more per yard/meter! So What it that you really want?

I'm looking for help with creating a fabric swatch book geared to help me understand what modern fabrics would be closer in look or feel to recreating historical garments, especially in the medieval period, although not exclusively.? Personally I do most of my costuming in the 14th century, but am also asked to help with everything from early Norse or Rus to Tudor and Elizabethan clothing, and am starting to play with Regency and Victorian outfits.?

Since I'm at a point now where I'm wanting to take the time to hand-sew my ensembles, and?even considering hand embroidered badge motifs, I'd like to be a bit more correct on the weights and weaves I'm using for the projects.

For example, picking out what to do with 6 yards of a lovely ultramarine blue angora blend?wool that feels like velvety plush on one side and the other side looks like what I think is a twill (very fine diagonal lines), the 5 yards of a muted blue-green that is lightweight, mostly smooth feeling, with tightly woven threads or the 5 1/2 yards of heavier dark purple (grape) wool that is more like the heavier coat wool. ?

[h-cost] Husqvarna Software and Machines
Just to put in the .02 again! I have owned my machines SE and Designer Diamond and now DDD the Deluxe, for 16 years, I think all total. I work currently with 5D but I have used 4D and 3D, I consider 5D to be a breeze in making all sorts of designs, and I do think taking classes is always the best route, I am lucky I have a wonderful person who is a dealer, and she adores digitizing and so I am able to bring pieces I want to do and then we work with them. I make all sorts of things my Persona is 16th Century, so it has been difficult to find Blackwork or geometric designs that mimic this period. and I have been able to achieve them. Bad part? People checking out my blackwork, which I created set up and then stitched out via my Machine and having them tell me I could have done it by hand. So I can do an entire Shift in under an Hour, and I will not be in splints for the next 4 weeks with pain meds...I do this by machine because I need to, but I digress. I have not had an issue digitizing designs I did have issues with getting to know how to Digitize. That is a learning curve but well worth it, everytime I make someone's badge or I make emblems of office people are very, very happy that I have this machine. I am doing some grape leaves for a project for my Barony. Again though? I suggest you play with all machines, as I said I am in love with my Babylock Serger, It is fast and efficient and I am to take my second class on Friday and I can't wait!! LOL Plus there are sewing.

[h-cost] Embroidery Machines
I can tell you to first not look at price, and more what you want to do with the machine, some have very small embroidery hoops, which means as a new person it is difficult to move the fabric so that you get a clean flowing embroidery. With that said, I suggest you spend some time looking, at different machines, go to Sewing Centers and try out the machines, see which ones 'speak' to you. I don't regret spending the cash for my machine, and I just bought I hope my last serger, because I listened to others tell me and I should have bought the Babylock Serger in the beginning, now I am actually USING my serger, while the others collected dust. I use my embroidery machine every single day, for all sorts of things I am making masks with lace programs right now, and they are Stunning. So my advice? Take the time and do the research!!
