Re: [h-cost] Wigs for the gray :)
the open hair braids used to do african braids and costing in the ranges of 1-3 bucks a piece are very useful for bending you own colors ANd manufacturing you own hair pieces. and yu donot have to be a lisenced bueation. good color sens is helpful but not essential the way to blend you color is, there are all different colors of this stuff available so get more of the predominent color and then some of the shade slightly lighter and darker and of course...the highligh wich would be white. iff you are lucky enough to find you color to begin with skip this step then using a large wire brush that you have c-clamped to a stable table, taks small sections of the hair having separated it out side of the poackage and blend it by sort of drawing it over and over again through the wire brush adding more as you go along. When you get the color you want... bind the end tightly with thread about an 3 inches from the end then bend it over to make a loop and bind again..unless you are attatching to some sort of hair clip or something. you might also dip it in a bit of silicon glue like calking or hot glue to stabelize it. once it it firmly attatched you can trim it and form the shape of the piece you want. If you want curlsset on plastic rollers that slef clamp like sponge rollers. dip in water that was boiling and just removed from the heat, till fully heated through then take out of water and allow to cool. If you want a braid you can braid smoothly first and then also dip in the hot water to SET the braid to keep it neater. hopefully this will help if you dont find what you want.

Did a quick Google--didn't find curls, but did find a couple of falls/switches at Vogue Wigs. You search by brand, then color, which turns up several shades of gray, then style.

Re: [h-cost] Designer Magazine Pattern
Katy, Thank you! Is the The Standard Delineator different than Delineator published by Butterick? I have a large collection of the Butterick Delineator from 1880s-1930s. I have not seen Standard before the name in my collection. I only have a few Designer magazines.

Re: [h-cost] Designer Magazine Pattern
It's a different company, The Delineator was published by Butterick and they are two very different publishers in direct competition. These are the dates I have in my own collection: Ladies' Standard Magazine 1893 Standard Delineator 1895-96 Standard Designer 1896-98 The Designer 1898-1925 Delineators 1875-1926 So many more Delineators and Butterick patterns survive than the Designer magazines or Standard Patterns.

Henry has asked me to announce the stage dimensions for all CC28 events. The stage will be 12 feet deep by 24 feet wide. Entry and/or exit will be from the two sides. Unfortunately, there will not be an area on the stage for staging entries. There will be a staging area at the base of the stairs. If you have any questions, please direct them to Henry so he can check them out.

[h-cost] Arty recycling of garments
Today I've been hand-sewing cotton lace onto the bottom of an almost-new summer-weight slip-dress I bought off eBay (to replace a flounce that was much too long) and I'm wondering: How many adults are doing arty recycling of garments and linens? By arty I mean more than just buying something second hand and altering it to size. (So my alteration to the bottom of this dress doesn't really count, but it still looks good.) I mean something closer to wearable art, where it looks like you altered the garment in a creative way. Everything I see on this subject looks like it's intended for teenagers and also for beginning sewers. Of course there's nothing wrong with being either a teenager or a beginning sewer. But, are many adults who are experienced sewers doing arty recycling? Or are they just altering garments in a conservative way or just for size?
