Tudor Tailor Patterns

Jul 30, 2008 15:00

New patterns are out, and the question before me is... do I spend about $60 (29₤) to get the late Elizabethan women's gown pattern set from them? [bottom row, far right ( Read more... )

patterns, 1590s, tudor, elizabethan

Can we get someone to carry them on this side of the pond? I know Kass has distributors in Europe...

...you know, I haven't yet asked about that, and I'm about to get back into patterns and fabric again.... Hm.

They still wouldn't be cheap, but at least the end users would have shorter supply lines...

heatermcca July 31 2008, 02:58:25 UTC

Yeah, my fundamental question is "how quickly would they move?" I lug my stuff around a lot to sell it, you see. Hm.

Hmmm... not sure how quickly they would move at their prices. But the paper quality on them is really nice. I know, I spilled pickle juice, and the patterns shrugged it off. The cover envelope is icky, and the instructions got smeared, but the pattern is still nice and clear.

I was going to see if Alter Years or Renaissance Fabrics show any interest.

I spoke to Janet about them when I saw her in June at Irish Faire. She did not seem overly enthused about the patterns, though she recommended the book for the intermediate costumer. Could always try though... I really, really want a suite of her women's patterns. I was thinking I could also draft them out, but drafting scares me... I am not thrilled with her men's stuff. I can do just as well on my own with those I think.
