repro fabric PSA
Quilt Country in Lewisville is getting rid of their pre-1930's reproduction fabrics, and they are all on sale for $4 a yard. Most of them are already gone, but I thought I'd post pics of the few that had dress-lengths remaining to see if any of you local folks were interested.

Even if you can't commit for the whole time, you can come and go if necessary. Bring your menfolk and kids too - all are welcome! I have costumes that I can lend out if you don't have ( Read more... ) -
pout.
I tried making a little cap for E. It looked great in fleece as a mockup, but it looks like ass in velvet. Puckery, uneven, too-small ASS.
I wonder if I should bother with trying again or just ditch the damn thing and move on to something else. :/ -
re-thought
Okay, or maybe I just need to make a little jacket or something to wear with the veryverychristmassy 1867 dress so it just feels a little more appropriate for a month other than december. That would be more sane than starting something from scratch, right?
