My Uniquely You has been a blessing. I can corset it and get it close
to my natural dimensions *in* the corset.
She also provided my spouse and I the most hilarity we'd had in a
long time. My Oh My, are those endowments *perky* when she pops out
of the box!! And I do mean pops. Lord have
My dress dummy is wearing a pale blue-green linen 14th century kirtle and a
yellow Effigy corset, both of which I have been working on for far too long
:-)
And wearing is probably the wrong word as they are both just draped over the
top.

Polly is currently half naked wearing the first mockup for my bodice for
this year's Ren faire dress. My embroidery hoop is wearing an 18th century
quilted petticoat in progress.

Well, top level is 3 of Dear Hubby's shirts that need ironing which I
tossed there after I took the laundry off the line last night. Below
those is a hot pink blouse, circa 1970, which I am mending for my 95 yr
old mother-in-law. I've done the rotted seams all that remains is to

I have a 11/16 pink plastic pearlized button. If that might work, send me

Thanks for the offer, but 11/16ths is too big. I have some florals that
size which would work, for the color, but there is not enough room to
enlarge that buttonhole by that much.
I know that i have a couple of small unique buttons that would
coordinate, it is merely a matter of finding the
Oh, are you building? We were not so ambitious. We only moved from a
1911ish American Foursquare into a 1960 Ranch. It is a lovely house,
but the proportions are SO different! The closets are a completely
different shape NONE of my boxes fit into them. We had to completely
repack
I use to have it all in one little room, sigh, then there was this
host of family members moving in and out - my daughter and
granddaughter are here now and everything is scattered. I know I have
tubs full of stuff that I won't use again, that were once organized on
shelves and occasionally used,
I wish you luck with this project. I tried a similar exercise a couple of years
ago. My husband and both boys were going on a Scout trip to the Boundary Waters
and were going to be gone for two weeks. House to myself, nobody to cook for or
drive around - perfect time.

Rebecca, it seems your only mistake was in letting your husband and sons

I've got a princess seamed fantasy pirate vest on my virtual dress
form. Saturday is opening day of the local ren faire and opening weekend
is pirate weekend so it seemed the natural thing to do. I made a new
skirt out of red scrim, and I re-furbed an old one to wear over that for
modesty.
The Extension office has an event like this every spring. Called the Sewers
Smorgasbord. They partner with the Wool Growers Board and a couple of the
quilter guilds and put on quite an event. Workshops, demos, presentations and a
large room where you can sell fabric/trim/notions etc.
Hi, my partner wants something like a knee-length cotehardie with a standing
band collar. Does this actually exist? Is it called something specific?
Thanks,
