Re: [h-cost] Quiet list
For some, Dickens Fair just opened. I'm working on a not-in-mourning bonnet for Dickens, for when I'm not playing Mrs. Nickleby.(who's in mourning) Got to finish by next week's caroling gig. I got a felt bonnet blank and trimmed it down by 2. And-Serendipity!_ the trimmed piece will work perfectly for the crescent part of a French hood (better than plastic canvas) -Original Message- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Pierre Sandy Pettinger Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 9:06 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Quiet list Hello!

Re: [h-cost] Quiet list
I'm still trying to finish up a bodice and bits and pieces for the Great Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco, even though we opened last weekend. Once those are complete, I need to make something elegant for my husband's company's Christmas dinner, a 1950's nylon crinoline petticoat and the steel grey taffeta skirt to go over it (see, it is costuming). I need to put the petticoat onto a new waistband and cut and whomp up the skirt. And then there's the Christmas presents I'm finishing for my family (not costuming) I pick up whenever my hands are at rest.

Does anyone want to share any plans for Yule/Solstice/whatever new costume projects? I am still stuck on finishing off a silk Elizabethan loose gown that I can't seem to finish. I've got some pretty trim cord that looks better than what I was trying to add, so hopefully it will get done by the end of the year. I am still plugging away on embroidering the blackwork pattern all over linen to be made into a partlet... it's a long term project Otherwise, I'm in hibernation mode trying to figure out what to work on next, which may be pajamas made from a Folkwear pattern of a Regency dress.
