[h-cost] FLDS vs. Amish

I was under the impression that the Pennsylvania Amish wear only natural fibers. At least the ones selling their cheeses and baked goods in NYC were wearing cotton twills pants, skirts, and bibs with cotton broadcloth shirts. ___ h-costume mailing list

[h-cost] Mascara Advice

I like the Tarte 4-day stay mascara. It's pricey, but it stands up to my allergy eyes, and I've even gone swimming with no smears. Considering that one tube has lasted me almost a year, it's worth the price. ___ h-costume mailing list

[h-cost] Odd Chatter

I don't know if this is OT, but I was asked to chat with someone who is absolutely obsessed with boys in dresses. I was approached as a member of an inactive Yahoo sewing group - I assumed the person just wanted to talk construction and embroidery. She (there is a female persona with this

[h-cost] Portugal

Hello, I've seen some travel requests here previously, so I'm asking the group: what's great costume-wise in Portugal? We're going to The Algarve, and we're going to a few castles, but are there any great textiles to look out for? What about fabric shopping? Thanks in advance, Stacey

[h-cost] Portugal advice

Hello all, I'm coming out of lurkdom to ask for some travel advice. Does anyone know of what's fun and h-costume-y in Portugal? We'll be in Lisbon and the Algarve next week, and I know of a few castles and cathedrals to check out, but what about textiles? Any good sewing shops? I know

[h-cost] Greenberg and Hammer

I was sooo sad about them closing, I didn't know until one morning I needed some bones and the website was down, and the guard at their building told me they were gone. There is Steinlauf and Stoller on 39th Street, but I had the opposite problem: I only needed 4 bones and they only sell by the

[h-cost] Costume Con

I can't resist! Unfortunately, I'm going to miss most of Saturday - the Royal Wedding is making me work! I thought I'd make the Folkwear coat, but a re-enactment event is interceding. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com

AAARRRGH! I found out that due to the royal wedding, I not only have to work that Saturday, but that Friday as well. I'm wondering if I should bother making anything for competition at all. Stacey in NJ ___ h-costume mailing list

[h-cost] Cabbage question

Of course, what was done with the cabbage? I can't see good wools being used for dustrags, yet there's no evidence of American-style patchwork quilting until the 18th Century. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com

[h-cost] Cabbage question

The shoddy manufacturing is interesting - I was thinking pre-industrial revolution. I can't comprehend that cloth that had been painstakingly spun and woven would be simply stuffed inside a pillow. My modern mindset keeps thinking that the thrifty Medieval or Elizabethan housewife would at least
