The Middy Thread
Hey, fantastic tutorial, thank you so much! I just got a cut so I'll have to wait a bit to try it out. But I'll certainly let you know how it went when I do! -
The Middy Thread
Oh yes oh yes! Please. A hairstylist friend will try to give me a middy tonight. I just gave her the diagram. But she's moving in August. I've already asked my husband if he could try but he's too scared. I would love it if I could do it myself. -
Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Ooo length of the darts, that's a good one. I totally forgot about that one. There is an easy way to check how long they should be. You put an elastic around your waist. Take a ruler and line up the zero with the elastic/waist and let the ruler hang down approximately in the same place as...- MarieAnne

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
I 'm trying to make this blouse with the PatternMaster software. What do you guys see? Unfortunately this is the only picture I have. It looks to me like the only dart on the bodice is a side dart which is gathered. There may be a french dart.- MarieAnne

Lottabody
Am I doing something wrong? Lottabody is doing nothing for me. I do wet sets; I start with towel dried hair. I'm using 1 part lottabody, 3 parts water. When I take my curlers out my hair looks greasy, and when I brush out my curls, my hair becomes gummy, almost tacky. It's really gross, I... -
Show us what you've made!
Hooray! I haven't sewn in a while. This is my first completed garment using WildGinger software. It's a straight skirt with a back kick pleat. I fell in love with this fabric at the store. Half plaid, half houndstooth...I soon began hating it though. Markings were useless, I couldn't see...- MarieAnne

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
SweetieStarr - Do you have a petite figure? I'm built like a bean pole and I find that front darts give me a pouch. I always omit then and take up any slack in the side seam.- MarieAnne

What Kind of Curlers Are These?
I believe they are called magnetic rollers. You can secure them with a pin, but also with a hard plastic snap-on cover, like in the picture. -
Setting Lotion
I would just open up your yellow pages to the beauty supplies page and start calling. Ask them if they carry setting lotion and what brand? Be prepared to explain what setting lotion is. I found Vitalong setting lotion this way (it works alright but I think it is very different from the... -
Show Us Vintage Gifts You've Received
I don't have a picture, I have a story. In the early 90's my mother and her friend broke into an abandoned mansion in France. They found several old letters, bottles, pieces of furniture, anyways they took whatever they could squeeze through the little hole in the wire fence. Well, my parents...- MarieAnne

Rave 'n' Rant
Egg white and lemon juice mask/facia I was looking for a recipe for a home facial and decided to try the egg whites with lemon juice recipe. It did nothing but leave my skin red. Total waste of time. -
Setting Lotion
I ordered LottaBody! It should be here in 5-11 days. I can't wait! -
Setting Lotion
I'm in Ontario and I can't find any setting lotion....I'm in Ontario and a nearby Rexall has an ethnic hair section which looks well stocked but I haven't found any wrap lotion, or setting lotion. I'm not even sure what to look for. I'm using an orange dippity-do. My sets only last one day... -
Combination Skin Nightmare!
And again, the Diane-35 did take a LONG time. Almost 6 months before my skin was totally clear. How long did you take Yaz?
