[h-cost] Speaking of Christmas gifts...
The Shippensburg Fashion Archives and Museum has a really nifty tote bag (uh, if I do say so myself since I designed it) for sale on their web site. http://webspace.ship.edu/fasharch/. The bag's graphics are a pattern in the Janet Arnold manner for a dress in the SUFAM collection. The hang tag is a picture of the actual dress. We're really proud that this bag is totally manufactured by loving hands in the state of Pennsylvania. The printing was done in Chester and the sewing is taking place near Shippensburg right now. It's 100% cotton canvas - grown in the USA, though probably somewhat south of Pennsylvania. All of the profits will go toward the preservation and exhibition of garments in the remarkable collection of this small museum. There is also a shoe bag and a jewelry bag available, not to mention a couple of wonderful catalogues written by the museum's curator Dr. Karin Bohleke. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Looks wonderful, Martha. Lovely design. Is there enough of the back bodice pattern showing that it could be sized up? Just in case anybody wanted to actually _use_ the pattern? :) Looked as if that's a piece that isn't quite all there. The photo is stunning! How big is that hangtag? == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Dec 7, 2009, at 5:36 AM, Martha Kelly wrote: The Shippensburg Fashion Archives and Museum has a really nifty tote bag (uh, if I do say so myself since I designed it) for sale on their web site. http://webspace.ship.edu/fasharch/.

Is the pattern available on paper? I like the shoe bag. It's nice to see products manufactured in the US for a change. The economy could use it.
