Curtains, Books, and Rush Jobs Oh my!
So i managed to get my curtains done as well as my table skirt! I will attach the skirt tomorrow then there will be some photos taken.
Michael sorted out the Win32 error; I set Gimp up as the program to automatically open photos with and it seems Gimp doesn't like that at all!
So here are my birthday books.
First is a reprint of a men's tailoring and etiquette book from 1836. I have to say it's a really amazing book, Lots of long long loongggg sentences, but there is an endless amount of knowledge to be gained from it.
Next is the Fashion book every history buff has to have the Victoria and Albert's Nineteenth Century Fashion in Detail.
Then there is Janet Arnold's Pattern's of fashion 1. This is one of my trusted books from the past that was lost several years ago. Lots of detailed drawings of oroignal gown construction!
Finally is Dressed for the Photograhper! I first saw this book in the Discover Mill's Barnes and Nobles sells for eighty bux! It's as thick as my Western art history book, and contains amazing original photos with a wealth of knowledge behind each one of them.
If only I had more time to oh and ah over them!
I also took on a fun Rush order for a replica costume of Jasmine You. It will be next week's big project. I'm looking forward to it since it has been a while since I've gotten to replicate something so out there.
It took a bit of hunting but I think i've been pretty successful at finding similar materials. Although nothing is identical they are all similar to each of the fabrics which is what I was mainly concerned about.
