    Show us what you've made!

    Fantastic top, Psycho Sue! I love anything with cherries. Last night I made a lingerie envelope, from a pattern in October 1954's The Workbasket: Edit: And we're back! It took me no more than 2 hours, and now I have a lovely envelope to store my stockings. I'm going to make another...

    The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*

    I was put on the pill in grade 9 too, because the cramping stopped me getting up and going to school, and a few times the blood loss landed me in the hospital. I'm lucky my doctor was so nice about it - he knew I didn't think of it as a ticket to ride (pardon the pun!) I had to take high dose...

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    And what has brought poor *swoon* to these depths? What forced him into this lowly state, this pit of self-destruction, this tunnel with no light? That's right, the finger is pointing at you... ;)

    The "Annoying Phrase" Thread

    Awh, lay off poor *swoon*. It's just a word trying to make it in the rat-race we call the English language. Just another word trying to get through it's day, doing its best, minding its own business... :p Papa Bush? That's so annoying, it should gain honourary access to this thread.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Antje might know, shes a hairdresser in Friesland. Try your beauty supply stores, ask for some kind of a bun ring. If not, you can easily make your own out of some old stockings stuffed with hair from your brush, cheap extensions, or cotton. :)

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    You won't have shrinkage issues at all. I think that dress (which is cute, btw!) would be fine with a hand wash, or even the gentle cycle in the machine. The only thing that came to mind was when I saw the lining - I thought it was silk, which would water stain, but if its nylon then no problem.

    The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*

    This is my problem. I need to take birth control. If I don't, I have violent cramps, month or 2 month long periods, and dangerous blood loss. :(

    The History/Evolution of Birth Control *Ladies Only*

    It really puts into perspective how much progress we've made in so little time. And thank goodness we have... Using any kind of Lysol to clean my innards? I'd rather bathe in motor oil!

    Me either... It makes it sound akin to a goitre *yucky* That's got to be the most annoying song I've ever heard.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Ah yes - She includes it in her book, too. My bangs are a wee-bit too short for it... It comes out looking rather anemic lol So I stick with the rolled bang revolution rat. Cherry Red, congrats on making a snood! I am terrible at it!

    Personal Rules for Vintage Shopping?

    Good question! When purchasing vintage (not repro) there are many more things to consider than size and colour. For example, say I run into a really great 40's rayon dress. Here are the questions I will ask myself: -Is the garment genuine, or is it some 1970's reproduction? -Check the...

    Rave 'n' Rant

    Love, love, love AG products. They're also made in Canada, which is only a plus for me. They have an amazing purple shampoo, hairspray, and smoothing lotion, called Fast Food. I'd recommend it to anyone.
