[h-cost] fabric storage

2008-02-22 Thread scourney
Hi, I'm moving and having to put a bunch of my fabric into a storage locker (climate controlled). The problem is that when I took a bunch of stuff out of the attic at my current place, I found a silver fish (a bug that eats fabric among other things). I'm repacking, throwing away the boxes, and

[h-cost] sewing machines

Hi, My small light portable machine has developed problems beyond the easily fixable. It's an older Brother. I've gone looking at the more expensive machines, but am thinking that now is not the time. I have an old Kenmore that does the bulk of my straight or zig zag stitching, but I

your dressmaker's dummy wearing today? One is wearing a skirt and petticoat for the outfit I was thinking of wearing to visit Dickens faire tomorrow - if I had gotten it done and if I had figured out a way to put an entire victorian outfit into my carry on luggage. Theother is wearing a drape

So, what's your dressmaker's dummy wearing today? The draped fabrics for an 1910s dress for the Portland vampire masquarade ball - the friday event most likely. It's dark red silk with a black silk gauze overlay and accents of dark gold. As soon as I take my final - I get to start

Hi, I'm still here. I'm also on facebook, but a bit disenchanted with it so mostly read other people's drama. I'm taking a new kind of history class this quarter - it's called reacting history. The professor picks a few related scenerios, assigns characters, and we interact as if we are

Hi, I'm looking at a job reproducing the clothes in a Pompeian fresco. I think I've identified most of the clothing involved, but still have a question on one thing. Any Ancient Roman experts out there? The painting in question is the sale of the bread
