    Show us your vintage patterns!

    Personally, I never trace vintage patterns directly onto fabric - I'll always first carefully copy them onto muslin, butcher paper or interfacing and then use those. That way I'm not handling the original over much. I really need to start using muslin more for copying since that's more durable.

    Flower in the Lapel

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes dandelions. They seem to be the scourge of our neighborhood - everyone always trying to wipe them out and have nice, trim, green-only lawns.

    Good Espadrilles

    Love the first ones. I'm still overjoyed that the fashion gods have decided that they are once again 'in.' I'm buying every pair I can get my hands on to stock up for when they are sadly, 'out' again.

    Goodwill Hunting

    Picked up a flawless tux with a tailor's label dating it to '27 a couple weeks ago. Cool thing? There was a collar stuck in one of the pockets.

    The ones that got away

    I'll second that. And here's my latest auction to sniffle over. I forgot all about it. Think I was on the phone. :eusa_doh:

    The Dance Snob

    I apologize in advance for my rant. Exactly! This is another sticking point for me. Dancing is fun, right? You're not out there because you have to be, because you were told to be - you're there because you want to be. You want to have fun, to dance close with someone, to kick up your...

    The Dance Snob

    Being a new dancer, as well, this is what sets me off: Several times I've been asked to dance by obviously good leads (or at least, they think so ;) ) and when told I don't know their particular dance of choice (in this case, lindy), they give this look of forced resignation and go, 'well, I...

    so THAT's where my mail ends up. . .

    Aren't they like twinkies with a shelf life of 100 years?

    Easter duds

    Mom was in a very smart lavender linen suit she recently picked up and I wore a 50's circle-skirt dress with matching cardigan. I have to say, I was rather dissapointed by everyone's duds around me on Sunday. We're from the South, and on Easter it's a long standing tradition that you dress...

    mormon penguin sweater!

    I might have to. For some reason, I don't think they want me absconding with their live ones.

    Old fashioned names new again....

    One day, when I have children, they're going to hate me. Since I very much intend to name the girls after their great-gramma's - Elna Jean & Pauline Cecil.

    New Book--Major Dick Winters

    Interesting, I'll have to pick up that one as well. Caught my attention in the afterward (of the Ambrose book) that described everyone's post-war careers - his specifically because of his mysterious death.

    Yay - the black/blue and orange dress! I'll second Neecerie on that question. Will it be making a NY appearance?

    New Book--Major Dick Winters

    I was planning on picking this up sometime this week. The review posted by Publishers Weekly was interesting to me. That's exactly one of the reasons why I was interested in reading this book - his modesty about the war exploits.
