[h-cost] Costumer in Chicago looking for work.
Hi Everyone, I am a new member to the group. I am a stitcher/costumer working in the Chicago area. Can anyone tell me how I can get my name out there as a seamstress? I'd like to join a group of folks who would need my wicked good sewing skills. Thank you in advance for your help. Patty In a message dated 3/13/2012 8:27:19 A.M.

You might even be planning a sojourn to thrilling foreign locale. Whatever the reason, h-costumers are probably making something. So, what's your dressmaker's dummy wearing today? --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com PS. It's ok to run into the sewing room, toss something marvelous on the dummy and *then* tell us about it. It's also ok to tell what's in your design sketchbook, on the worktable, in the quilt frame, at the sewing machine or in the embroidery hoop. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume -- Message: 4 Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 22:13:44 -0500 From: Margaret Decker m.p.dec...@att.net To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Subject:

Mine, currently, and for months, has a green silk panniered gown on it, minus all the furbelows. I can't decide how to embellish it--ruffles? lace? bows? Siobhan Dulles, VA ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Look at the size of stone on the gloves worn by the Cardinal holding the tongue in pincers!!! The gloves are all quite flesh toned and I only realised that they are all wearing them when I wondered how the jewellery was being held in place. At first I thought it was a Rosary/Paternoster being wound around their hands - til I went super close up. My dummy is a brand new self made version (as the daughter bound my bust down so it looked like Arnie on a bad day). Tonight she will be wearing a blue linen 12th C dress. I am making my first one with lacing, hopefully to wear next weekend. Claricia ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker?'s dummy wearing today?
A pair of pants shirt that need minor repairs. BUT, on the floor beside beside it is the fabric I scored at a church sale! (A local church had a member who had a MAJOR stash and when she decided she couldn't sew anymore, donated it to the church. It took them 2 weeks to measure it for the sale.) So, white linen cotton for chemises; fuschia, teal black wool cotton heavy knits (some of it Pendleton!) suitable for suits pants. Brown linen for a tunic, or maybe mundane pants; enough white drapery sheers yardage to veil the whole frelling Barony, /including/ the belly dancers. Some Stretch Sew bathing suit blouse patterns for a quarter a piece. And, best of all, a 4yd, 60 wide light blue piece of heaviest weight Ultrasuede for $20 BUCKS. Gloat, gloat gloat. I will Never wear that color, but it is my best friend's favorite shade and she fondled it but didn't buy. So I did buy it I put it in her bag, saying, here's your Xmas present. It just revolted my soul (as a former Joann's employee) to leave that buttery soft piece of gorgeousness behind! So, now I'm at /least/ 8 projects further behind! But d@mn, that woman had Taste!
