Nah, they've done sell-offs like this in the past. You might find a bargain but
a lot of stuff is in shocking disrepair and has been out on fancy dress hire
for years, the company's main focus over recent years,

I feel badly that the people at the HC are being ripped. They have a limited

These remind me of a pair of pants my mother made for me years ago for a
Christmas party. They were yellow silk with a blue print of giraffes and
such. I looked on the Patterns from the Past site and found two possibilities

Both are from 1972 -

Hi all, can anyone give me some hints on fulling a small bit of wool?
I'm starting with a piece about 11 inch square, it's light weight as
well (tropical suit weight?).
I was hoping to be able to do this by hand, but I'm not sure I'm doing
it right. I put it in hot water (dishwashing hot) with
Sounds like the wool is not going to full. Tropical weight often is that way,
while flannel is more likely to full in my experience.
Sorry,

Your description sounds like you know what you are doing, and the
wool should have fulled if it was going to. So it may just be made
from a wool that doesn't full well (whether it's been treated with
something, or is just worsted-spun, or is a particularly unfullable
variety of wool).

Any idea what Queen Elizabeth is supposed to be, animal wise? I am not sure if
it is a tortoise or what. But I do like the Froggy courtier. And I like Henry
VIII and Jane Seymour. I like some others as well, but those are what I am
involved in.
