IT'S HERE!!! I HAZ IT!!! EARLY CHRISTMAS!!!
My copy of Patterns of Fashion 4 arrived yesterday--COLOR PICTURES!! 15 SMOCKS!!! DRAWERS!!! It's just in time for my class project, and means I can start working on my Pentathlon project, too. (Eowyn, she has about nine coifs, so you're going to want this.)
In other news, watched Across the Universe last night, and loved it as only a woman my age who'd grown up with two older cousins could. The more you like the Beatles, the more there is in this film for you. Must own.
Catching Up Department: Did I say class? Back when Mela, Albra, Tetchubah and I went to CostumeCon together, Mela allowed as how she'd be teaching the fall semester of her evening class out of The Tudor Tailor. Like everyone else, I've had a copy since it came out, but haven't exactly read it from cover to cover. (Working on that now.) So I decided to take the class, and that where I've been on Wednesday evenings since the end of August.
So far, we've built Rocky Horror-- (which sold out poste haste, so they added two shows, and it sold out again). Bruce, Esther, Jacob, his girlfriend and I have tickets for the midnight show on Halloween. I've also done a quite competent presentation on the loose gown, if I do say so myself. Due tonight: Tudor project design.
Being as I'm expecting to lose 43 more pounds, my options are a little limited. I'm shooting for a smock (test run of the one for Pentathlon), loose kirtle, loose gown, and some kind of hat. Need to look at more pictures.
